Last Saturday, I was looking to go for a run out on the trails, but knew that an awful lot ice of my favorite terrain, and with a road marathon coming up in a few weeks, I didn’t want to risk injury.

Sugar Hill Reservoir in Winter
Given the recent loss of snowpack, my plans to do some cross country skiing turned into a running day.
