Mon 12/30 - AM 65 minutes easy

Walpole. After a sloppy overnight mixed bag of a rain/snowstorm, I had the brilliant idea of taking to the nearby rail bed in snowshoes. Realized after less than five minutes that the snow wasn't deep enough to require their use, and more than that reminded of why I stopped running in snowshoes in the first place. It's an awkward pain in the ass. Took them off and left them by the side of the trail and proceeded the rest of way without them. Eventually got to River Road and ditched the path for the (slightly) better footing. Road was a mess though with slush everywhere. Retraced my steps but using the route 12 main drag instead of the rail bed so as to avoid the slippery footing on the snow. Some stiffness in right hammie, I haven't been giving it the normal TLC the past two days.
