It’s this time of the year when the Snow Leopard Race takes place in Zawoja. This weekend marked the third editon and it has proven once again it is the sports event of the year!

I was absolutely thrilled to be able to run this course for the third time. First of all because the cause is super cool! Second of all because there are lot of super cool people involved. 

There was a time when I had my calendar full with races, which helped me to train in a more disciplined manner and it allowed me to meet people that taught me a lot. 

Lately I had some other challenges in mind and I treated running as a mean rather than a goal in itself. I wanted to be in shape so that I could safely explore mountains all year long, on skis, with or without backpack, running or hiking. And while I had some physical ups and downs during last season I’m really glad I could enjoy running this trail once again just for the pure sake of running.
