I love multi-tasking, it rocks. So this week while skiing at my company’s annual ski extravaganza, i thought, what a great opportunity to get some running on snow and ice, do some north pole training 5 weeks before the Sahara Marathon. So off i went running on snow and ice, and it was good. No problem with the -6/7 temperatures (admittedly a tad warmer than the north pole might be…), or the running on the snow and ice. It was actually the altitude and up and down of the village which most took its toll - especially on my old achilles which felt it more than most. Skiing however was great, no problem, until i took my boot off and started walking again, at which point it actualy seemed quite painful. ho hum. Off for my first physio on the dreaded achilles tomorrow….i am expecting miraculous results!
