A Sad Trail Run

So, I have a trail half marathon in a little over a month in the Catskills.

I’d really like to start training on the trails for this race. However, we have one little problem. The condition of our local trails are ice/snow/mud at the moment.

Last night I went to the Pine Bush trail at Blueberry Hill to check the status and see if they were run-able. Well, some of them were. I managed to slowly jog the snowy/ice portions. Some Yaxtrax would have been nice, but I don’t own any, so I had to make do with my trail runners. At least the weather was nice!

2.3 miles at a slow 13:30 pace. I still have a month to get some trail runs in, so I’m hoping it clears up (I can handle mud), in the next few weeks.  I’m so done with this crappy weather. I want spring!
