Running in all weathers

The bad weather conditions have not stopped me and I have been training despite the inclement weather:
Just before Christmas I ran a (very slow) 10K around a completely snow covered lake in Germany just before Christmas. The whole run was ON snow and it started snowing again as I was running around the lake. Absolutely awesome !!
On Christmas Day I managed to get my behind off the sofa prior to Christmas lunch and sneak in a cheeky 7.7m run despite the icy roads - I just ran on the road itself when the pavements were too dangerous. I sooo deserved that lovely lunch and wine afterwards.
Yesterday I joined into a 8 mile "social" run with RPAC - cross country, through muddy fields, snow and melting ice - my feet were drenched at the end and my shiny new trainers now look well worn in.
