When everything turns white!

As most people know Brazil is famous for its pleasant weather, we usually have temperatures between 12C (54F) and 30C (85F) all year round. As a result, my experience with snow and all the troubles that snow can bring is virtually none or almost that as I always travel to North America during the winter. However, this time was different.

Driving north from Indiana to Michigan during a ‘lovely’ spring day I got hit by a snow storm. Everything started beautifully with snowflakes touching the window, but after a couple of miles things went bad, and believe me when I say bad. The entire road got covered in about 12 inches of snow, the car started to slide and all of sudden I could not figure out what was road and what was the hard shoulder!

The moment a snowmobile passed over me made me realize something was wrong so I stopped in a Gas station and asked somebody if that was something I should not be doing. The answer was even worse. Two people told me I should not been driving that type of car in one of the worst snow storms they`ve even seen, however according to the weather channel things were not supposed to get any better for the next 2 days.

Long story short, after 6 hours (It was supposed to take 3) I finally arrived at the hotel safe and sound, and thankfully I could even record a short video of the adventure, not sure if is the scene or maybe the song from The Who rocking on the background but it looked very nice.

  Run Forrest, run!

  Posted on 10 July 2019 in Blog

  Since I started running I’ve added some targets…. 5Km (Done), 10km (Done), 15 Km(Done), 18 Km (Done). The next step was quite challenging, especially when you travel a lot and need to do extra effort to keep the training routine.
