New Year's Day

Can't start off the year with a zero after all :) so Ryan and I headed over to the other Brad for a trail run. Conditions were interesting to say the least, frozen slush, ice, mush, granular packed snow, you name it. My screws weren't giving me the greatest traction so there was a fair bit of slipping and sliding along with tiptoeing across the icy spots, but we certainly put in the effort! ;) I definitely need to work on my turnover as all the 100 mile training last year did nothing for my speed, but I felt strong on the hills today, so that was a good feeling. Got in 6.6 miles on this lovely morning, and always nice to share a run with Ryan, something that doesn't happen very often!
