Walden woods, with a set of hill drills on the Pine Hill reservoir road near the end. Missed the Walden trails more than I had figured, even though it hasn't been that long and they're more of a chore terrain-wise than Area 51. Needle ice everywhere, in some places thick and widespread enough to cause instability underfoot. Cruising right along until just before the hour mark when it started to become clear that running in the ninja slippers on the uneven surfaces was wearing out my legs. Soldiered on but held back a bit so as to make it through. Drills were productive but not at all easy on the much steeper grade of the Pine Hill road. Left ankle feeling a bit tweaked afterward. Gray and blustery day, with the storm passing by but thankfully staying out at sea.
