I was "voluntold" by a friend of mine that I'd be taking a group out snowshoeing today at Hockley. Apparently Mother Nature didn't get the memo about that! We decided to hike anyways but the conditions were a little sketchy for a group of people who showed up in road running shoes and/or snow boots. Everyone survived and had fun (none had ever been there before) but I was a bit uncomfortable with this group given the sketchy trail conditions. I was fine with my SpikeCross but there was a lot of slipping and sliding going on in the road shoes!

Awesome slushy run IN SHORTS! in the Halton complex starting from Guelph Line. I really want to learn these trails a bit better and it was so fun picking random lefts and rights until it was time to turn back and I had next to no idea how to get back to the car. Found a few signs, pulled out my phone a couple of times, and was enjoying myself so much that when I did find the car, I headed back out for one more short loop.

CrossFit

On the treadmill while re-watching Finding Traction to see if I recognized any sections of the Long Trail and to get a sense of what the trails we were on looked like without all the snow!

Before heading home we wanted to check out a bit of the Long Trail, which we'd seen glimpses of the day before on Camel's Hump, but we were also looking for something a bit shorter and not quite as epic. We looked at a map and checked out two starting points before deciding on an out and back just outside of Jonesville. All up on the way out but a fun run on the way back down. Temperature was so drastically different than the day before!
