The Birthday Run.

On Mar 26, 2013

Chaulieu street Christophe, across the run.

The birthday celebration Run with the Snowfall with Strelka and Leroy: 10.4 kilometres - 64.20 min, -6ÂșC, severe North-West on open up stretches.
It's my birthday celebration these days and I couldn't Avoid the enticement of honoring it with a great run, even although it's a harsh winter season day.
'You're Russian, you Ought to be accustomed to chilly', I maintain listening to advert nauseam. 
No, we, Russians, we're accustomed to well-heated and protected homes, comfortable winter season clothes, great water-proof non-slip footwear, gentle hair shapkas and heavy-duty mitts or mittens. 
It's the English, with their rattling windows, slim doorways and drafts, they're the accurate spartans, who'd instead keep chilly than make existence chilly-proof.
It's been freezing out Because the morning, ticklish mild powdery Snowfall that doesn't dissolve but twirls in the air, enters your eye and underneath the collar, and accumulates Snowfall glides in minutes. The streets had been protected in gentle Snowfall, which wasn't loaded However and not slick at all, the skies was darkish and grey. The whitened of the Snowfall created Every thing mild and eery, but oddly pleasant. 
In the woods, we noticed a excellent large hare in his mild winter season coat. The canines offered him a run after but quickly offered up in the heavy Snowfall.
And there was an additional reward of the France traveling gradually and courteously. 
If you run on a wintry day, consider unique care, maintain in mind that Snowfall muffles seems and the cover or the flap of your cap make it difficult to listen to nearing cars. 1 Vehicle went correct up at the rear of with out me listening to it. The Vehicle owner honked lightly and I allow him to move waving in acknowledgement.
