Thu 1/8 - PM 70 minutes easy

Area 51. The prospect of running on the roads still completely unappealing, plus I wanted to see how frozen the landscape had become in the woods following the past three days of sub-freezing temps. Slipped on the most modest traction enhancers I own to the shoes, while I maybe could have gone without them it was still reassuring to have something to improve grip on the snow-covered ice. Other than that a very mellow recovery jog. Took a few breaks including at Puffer Pond which is completely frozen over to an impressive thickness. Coldest morning yet but thankfully I wasn't running in the morning, by the time I got out there the winds had subsided to a large extent. Still cold but without the brutal wind chill.
