It's Frosty Trail time!
 |
| WHEEEEEEEEEE |
It is not in actual fact looking all that frosty.
 |
| Though I think I'd rather have frost than rain.. |
It appears there will, however, be an abundance of rotted ice and mushy snow. A friend went and walked the 2.0km loop at Camp Heidelberg today, and...well..

So it looks like the name of the game will be "try to stay upright and not get stuck in a quagmire of slushy mud".
Not that I'd know anything about mud at Camp Heidelberg..

Fortunately this one is just for kicks - no performance goals at all, as I wouldn't really call myself "recovered" from the RUN4RKIDS 8-hour a fortnight ago, not to mention:
- not tapering (I've actually started re-building distance this week)
- lack of sleep the last couple of days...as if that's anything new.
- having 2 wisdom teeth pulled last Tuesday
- finally having got rid of a lingering sinus infection this week
- being (almost) fully mobile again after my back locked up on my last Saturday, likely as a result of some interpretive dance moves to stay upright on an icy trail run.
So, traction devices will be packed and fingers shall be crossed!
It's only 3 hours, right? How bad could it be..?
