Sun 12/22 - AM 80 minutes easy

Lincoln woods. Strapped on the yaktrax and slogged my way on the trails. Slippery footing a given, but not enough to keep me out of the woods. Wanted to see what the recent warm spell had done to the snowpack. Unsurprisingly, lots of slushy conditions with the well-trodden trails serving as a catchbasin for the rain that's fallen. Thought about truncating the loop I had in mind originally for a quicker way back on the plowed sidewalk but thought better of it and stayed on the trail throughout. Not the best footing for the day after racing on the track but the intensity level was suitably relaxed. Hip flexors feeling quite sore totally from dealing with the footing.
