This morning was wonderfully warm with about 2 inches of slippery new snow on the ground which made running a little more challenging. It would have been MUCH more enjoyable on skis but I need to do a little maintenance on mine before I do any training on them this year. Also, I need to work on becoming more graceful on them.

Observations
It was very slow going uphill with the new snow. Conditions were just right for sliding my feet effortlessly right out from under me.
