Fun, Mucky Trail Run

You know, I'm a little jealous when I see pictures of Aron from Runners Rambles running up trails that looks like this in February.  The ones around here look like this.

These lower trails are partly snow and ice covered, and I stuck to them rather than the higher ones, which were more snow and ice covered, and steeper.

The flats, however, were ugly.

So when the dog and I got back, we looked like this:

(Really Nicole, again with the shoes?)

I complain but really, it was alot of fun.  I'm trying hard to do most runs on trails, and they're gonna look like this for awhile yet.
