slept:5.75 shoes: Salomon Snowcross1 2nd pair
Browner and I met at Scotsdale Farm on a day when the roads were surprisingly bad, given the uneventful forecast. It was sunny and chilly with a bitterly cold wind and 10-20 cm of fluffy snow on the trails. It would have been a perfect day for snowshoeing - finally! I'd planned to bring AdventureDog but decided that might be cruelty to animals.
We were actually quite comfortable in the forest, and it was beautiful with the fresh snow. Running was more about strength than speed today, given the difficulty of getting a foothold in the soft snow, which had ice underneath in the few places where we hit bottom. A couple of trails are rocky and technical so the obstacles were hidden under the snow, which resulted in a few surprises when my feet disappeared in odd directions. Lots of fun, a good workout and great to catch up - so grateful to have friends who aren't fazed by crazy winter conditions!
