Fresh snow. I had to take advantage of it. I grabbed my snowshoes and hit the trail. The was only a skiff of snow at my house, but at the Mueller park trail there was lots of snow. There was about 2 inches at the base and 4 to 6 inches as I got up higher. The snowshoes worked great on the fresh powder. It is a killer workout. I was short on time and it started snowing really hard, so I only made it up two miles. This Saturday I am going to do it again and go all the way to elephant rock on snowshoes.

You're an oxymoron: a hardcore twinkie.

Love it. That is so cool you are getting some good use out of your new snowshoes. I'm also very jealous.

That's weird...Twinkie hasn't posted since last Thursday. I wonder if having a baby has anything to do with it. Looks like he's getting a little soft...

Thanks for keeping an eye on me baldnspicy. I will squeeze a run in tomorrow for sure.

That's what FRB family does, Twinkie!
