The last three weeks there has been a pretty consistent snow layer on the ground. This is the first winter that I have really seen snow here in North Holland. To really enjoy it Paul and I decided to take a nice run in the dunes. The wind was definitely blowing a bit and it was -10degrees so we had to make sure to dress warmly.
The final result for me was two pairs of running pants, a short sleeved and long sleeved shirt, a thin jacket, and a wind jacket. A fleece scarf, gloves, and something to cover my ears. Paul had about the same on.
When we started I thought, “oops, too many layers” and began stripping things off, but when we turned around after 25min and actually had to run “into” the wind, I was really happy for all the layers.
It was very beautiful, but really hard running. Between snow and ice, it took a lot of grip to keep moving and I could really feel my calves burning. Today, my quads and calves are pretty sore. Though more fresh snow has landed and Paul keeps asking me to go running, I think I will be staying inside with a nice cup of hot chocolate.
