Running that feels more like skiing

Snow Day run ❄️

I went back to the run a proper FKT on the Q today. By proper I mean respecting Alex's initial trail documentation by starting at the sign at the end of Cornwall Street in Cheshire, not at the water tower where I previously thought the trail began. I am not sure why the "trail" begins at the road but I found the road running to be a nice warm-up before the trail shoots up a nasty incline once it enters the woods.This added a bit less than a mile of road running onto the route, but I still managed beat my old FKT by about two minutes. The trail had a nice coating of snow in most spots, but this didn't seem to affect my run too much. Actually the variability of the trail was very pleasant today.I would rather have the snow then loose leaves like I had last time. The only spot that was sketchy were some ice falls around the tower at Sleeping Giant where I grabbed onto trees and tiptoed over rocks to work my way down. I really like the way the trail ends on a super fast extended downhill section, which I really pushed knowing my time was close. The trail ends at King's Highway since the North Haven section has been closed with no maintenance.
