Sunday's conditions

Sunday brought a mixed bag of conditions on the valley trail.
An early start for a run hand people sliding around on ice, especially on any of the north facing hills and any place the sun is not getting through the tree cover.
Where the trail sits wide open there are large pools of water or deep mud.
As the day warmed up, the ground thawed, and there was more mud.
It is going to take at least until the end of the week I sure before the ice will disappear. The cold overnight temperatures is not helping.
It was definitely a weekend to be running with screws in the bottoms of your shoes.
Those using road shoes really had a tough run.
