Today it was +12º C and it was so warm in the sun. But in the forest their was a lot of snow.



It was really difficult to run. The snow was wet, and I did come home with wet and cold feet. (but clean shoes)









This sign is so funny! D
That sign belong to a small farm I'm passing on my trip, and it says:

"Warning!
Loose animals,
confused old man
(The hag is a loony)
drive slowly so
you have time to
see the spectacular."











And some spring signs from my garden.

Beautiful pictures, and I love the flowers! We are just starting spring here too, but no bulbs flowering yet. I can’t wait for warm weather!

Thank you! ♥
We don't have so much snow here in the south, and some years no snow. So that is my reason why I'm not good on ski.
And I like running in all kind of weather and ground. Difficult running I only see as a challenge. :D

Gorgeous flowers! And hilarious sign! :D
Some of my perennials started to come up a few weeks ago but now we’re back to a bit of snow so they are on hold. Nowhere near flowers yet.

And today it was so warm so I could run in a short sleeve shirt and short tights. :marlenesmile:
Last Thursday I was running in a snow storm with hat and gloves.
And this is tomorrows weather. Akela, Eliy and I will be outside and enjoying the weather. :)
19º C = 66,20 F

How beautiful! It is still snowing here too.. actually it is snowing right now. But no warm weather, it still hasn't gotten above 50℉ (10℃) this year.


Difficult running I only see as a challenge. :D
When it was snowy/icy out once my mom wasn't sure if she should go running, so I told her "Put on your trail shoes and pretend it is slippery mud!" And she did :D :lol:

I really like your mother! ♥ And their is running shoes that fit every kind of weather.
I have 15 pairs that I use depending on weather and ground.

This is my best ice/snow shoes: (Very low weigh consider all hard metal studs)
I can run on ice with them and have really good grip.


And this is my best racing shoes: (Very low weight) I have these in competitions (not trails) and for intervals run.

And this is my best Swimrun/OCR shoes: (have the same weight dry or wet)

Yes my mom has a bunch of different shoes as well.
She has nearly 7 pairs of the same shoe.. all trail shoes for her OCR stuff. Plus I fit into them so when I do the races with her I can just wear her shoes. Salomon is her go-to brand for that kind of shoe. (We seriously have 7 pairs of the same shoe.. ranging from Salomon speed cross 2 all the way to speed cross 4. Although the 2s are almost done for- complete with holes in the sides!) :D

The ones you have with metal are interesting. I have never seen anything like those here except for people who run track as a sport.

I have the Speedcross 3. :)

That is a Finish brand. They are great, but expensive.
And Icebug and Salming are both Swedish brands.
I also run a lot with my La Sportiva Vertical K. Italian trail and mounting shoes. Also very low weigh and natural running.



That sign is hilarious! Beautiful crocuses!
Thank you! ♥
