First Snowshoe

Finally broke trail logging a 5.3 K Snowshoe run on the backyard trail yesterday.     The snow was crunchy after a recent thaw but it still had some give to it so the first lap of 5 I walked then I ran 4 laps before running home.    Was a little overdressed for the -6C  but that was OK going short.   Used a new shell pant that I picked up at MEC ... perfect  no snow balling in the back of my knee!   I am hoping that winter is here to stay for a few months...no thaws would make for a great course!
