Mid-winter view

With most of the team relegated to the treadmills at South Field Fitness (aka, The Tent), a handful of runners wanted to venture outside instead for their Tuesday workout. After scouting around for non-icy roads, I defaulted to Oakes Road in Highland, which runs parallel to the Hudson River at and near Highland Landing. The road is flat and mostly untraveled, and it was mostly dry except for a few slushy spots -- ideal for an effort-based workout. The Hudson Valley Rail Trail in Highland was still covered in a thin sheet of ice and snow, and forget about the Vassar Track. This was the view from Highland Landing, as the river is definitely in mid-winter mode. You can see the "Marist skyline" across the way.
