seemed like a nice, normal, mumsy-type person, but her chatting about 'While running alone through the siberian forests it was quite beautiful with the shapes of the wolves following alongside the track. It got to 62 degrees below on some nights, which made it tricky to melt my drinking water.'

That's not a bad idea.
