Running (Trail) 46:23 [3] 4.54 km (10:13 / km) +222m 8:13 / km
slept:6.5 shoes: Salomon XR Crossmax CS pink/gr
If I lived near Blue Mountain all the time, this might be my "Meh, I don't feel like doing much but can't waste that big hill" run. AdventureDog and I parked at the base of the Switchback trail but chose to go up the adjacent Lover's Loop trail when we saw this mess. A-Dog was unimpressed.
All that rock hard ice resulted from the melt early this week but it didn't help that we had freezing drizzle on and off today. The top of the mountain was hidden in fog and the trees on the hillside were frosted.
We ran Enchanted Forest and the Bruce Trail on top, then came back down Lover's Loop. It wasn't quite as bad as Switchback but there was plenty of ice hidden under a skiff of snow and it was so steep in places that even Kahtoola Microspikes weren't enough. I did some bushwhacking beside the trail and lots of tree hugging!

Strength & Mobility 20:00 [3]
Then I went to the condo fitness room that is a 30 second walk from Tree Hugger ABC. I should go there more often. Apparently the treadmill broke today so things should be even more quiet than usual. I had the place to myself for some full body strength.
