Happy Sunday Everyone!
My day stared off with this breakfast of Champions:
Mmm Mmm Mmm cheese omelette and maple veggie bacon.
After breakfast, Jenny picked me up and we went for a quick 6k run in the river valley. It was plus 5 and sunny a gorgeous day for a run.
We were pretty toasty afterwards so we grabbed some Vitamin water and then decided to rent some Snowshoes to prepare for the upcoming Yeti Snowshoe Race in March.
We strapped them on and were ready to go!
My oh my was it ever tough, we kept sinking to the bottom and falling over..lol
We attempted to run a few times…..
It is a lot harder than it looks! In total we did 2k in them before we called it quits.
After that workout I definitely deserved some pie

Oh my goodness, good luck with the Yeti Snow Shoe run, love the name! It is better than one we have in Tasmania this weekend called Convicts and Wenches! Why just run on the flat when you can do something out there? All the best J and T, can’t wait to hear about it.
Thanks! We are going to need it
I think I love convicts and wenches better then the yeti.
Nice Article…nice pics…looks really cold
Thanks! I uses a gopro Camera
OMG! Snowshoe-running is tough! I went snow-shoeing one time and it was on a hiking trail. Luckily, there was somewhat of a beaten path where we went. If it was just a huge field like that, it would have been so tough! Glad you got a good workout
I’m kinda scared for this race, I almost broke my ankle testing them out eee
FUDGE smore cake?! WHAT? yum !
Its delicous
Lovin’ the Fudge S’mores Cake part of the run! lol
Snowshoes? Are you kidding me? I have enough trouble with my cross-country skis! And they stay on TOP of the snow where they belong….
I think cross country skiing is way harder.
Snowshoe running-sounds crazy. Fantastic photos and fabulous pies! Great blog
We think it’s crazy too!!! Lol
In total agreement. Viewing this from the sunshine state (Florida). I love seeing how every one views running differently depending on where they live! I would like to try snow-shoeing some day! Sounds exciting (and crazy)! We runners are a little crazy though for sure!
