Meet the experts and running in snow
Feb0520124:58 p.m.
Had a great day on the 4th Feb at meet the experts (Virgin London Marathon Team). The team were funny, informative and inspirational. There were presentations from Nick Bitel, David Bedford, Lisa Thompson, Mark Griffith, Andrew Smith, Sam Murphy, Jules Beck, Olivia Napier, Andy Dixon, Alex Heasley, Jim Pimblett, John Brewer, Liz and Martin Yelling
Not sure I'd have put my trainers on this morning for my long run had it not been for the fact that the words from yesterday were still ringing in my ears. It's not because I had no motivation this morning, it was because we had at least 2 inches of snow on the ground.
I did manage to do over 15 miles at a 10 minute pace so was really pleased. I did fall over once but, managed not to tear or break anything. Running in the snow is a real test of ability, it really did test mine.

onthefloor04 'I've been there for the last 6 or 7 years now (I work for a charity) it is the same every year BUT it is still a great presentation. Dave Bedfords dress is always one of the highlights (he got a new one two years ago) Snow running is great and brilliant for working the glutes too :0)' added 6th Feb 2012
