Notes
This morning I went back to Bradbury Mountain, and screwed the trail shoes. That worked perfectly; I had no traction issues the entire time, and only fell once. I was up and moving again so quick that I couldn't even tell where I fell based on my pace off the garmin when I looked at it afterwards.
Managed to get 13 1/2 miles in with the crowd running through the ice and snow, and then went out for another 5 miles on my own. It was a good confidence run, having an almost 3 hour run feel that easy. Granted, the pace was pretty slow, but running through snow can be tough. I don't expect to be too active later today.
I wore my north face "camelbak" style water bladder today, since I knew I'd be going long. It was nice having the water with me. I also had some hornet juice before the run, half a package of sports beans 8 miles in (I had a sample pack from a race that's been sitting in my drawer for a long time - I'd never tried them before) and then took a bite out of my protein bar when I got back to the cars with everyone else. Finished it after the run, of course.
