At the risk of sounding like a broken record (see post last Sunday), I should have been going for a long run today… This week the problem was that I went out on Tuesday and, after a stonkingly good outward 6.3k/3.9 miles*, my calf tightened up and I had to walk all the way back. ☹ So, I’m resting it for another couple of days.
*The only saving grace was that my pace for the 6.3k averaged around 5m 17s per km or 8m 30s per mile (which is much better than I expected).
I needed to get some exercise though, so I went for a walk, of around 9km/5miles, alongside the river.

The one ice formation looks like a bird or a hedgehog with a very long snout

It immediately looked like a hedgehog to me (albeit with a long snout). I wanted to put a ? after the title but wordpress doesn’t allow it. So it could be a bird. ☺

Thank you for your nice comments and for visiting my site. The light was a bit dull and flat compared to some days, but I was pleased with the way the images came out. 🙂

Tell you what I ran/walked in the snow on Saturday… my thighs yesterday felt like I had tried to kick start a jumbo jet! phew… they ached!
Your river walk will not have gone amiss… its sitting on the couch that will! GO YOU!!! x

Thanks for your support. I plan to go out running (well, jogging these days) tomorrow or Wednesday. I could be really fit if it wasn’t for these niggling injuries (which have become more frequent as I’ve got older – so make the most of your youth!) As for snow, we haven’t had that much really, certainly not compared to Austria or central Switzerland. (On Ski Sunday they mentioned how the Swiss army had shifted 3 feet of snow to allow the event to take place). I think the most we’ve seen here (in the past 8 years) is reflected in my post from Dec 2017: https://alittlebitoutoffocus.com/2017/12/11/snow-snow-and-more-snow/ Our Swiss neighbour in the red car is driving down, our sort of side road, to the main road (which had been cleared), straight through the snow, which is at least 2ft deep (see sides of the car).

Now I’m even more impressed by your running. I hope you don’t get too many niggles. I started running at 21, so there’s bound to have been some wear and tear. ☹

Now that’s an inspiring spot for a winter run, Mike. Beautiful photos! You’re making me feel guilty, I am so behind in my training.

Me too. As you can see from the chart, I’m well behind, but I have time to catch up (I hope!) I find running in the snow difficult, I’m afraid, so I tend to drive down to the Rhone Valley, where it’s clear, and run by the river, which is flat too. It also has the snowy mountains on each side. ☺
