Winter wonder land has returned to McNaughton Park. Rain, sleet, snow has all contributed to the transformation. The trail is 98% run-able with that other 2 percent being slick ice toboggan slides. You can likely guess where those are - golf hill, butt slide hill and Gary Bird gulch - to mention a few. Regular trial running tread is fine for that 98% but ice cleats are recommended for the slides. Gaiters are a good idea to as the snow will pack into your shoes very quickly.
Here I am as Hudson's Field shortly before Meyer Cemetery. It's snowing today (Saturday) and the running is a blast!
Here are the bright red berries after the snow "frosted" them. Total of about 6 inches of snow added to the energy needed to run today. Lots of stops to clean the ice out of my feet but not so cold as to be a problem.
Courage
