Route: The Ft Snelling Route Amended - run back up the long but not steep hill, making this a slightly different route than the one I normally do. This will be better practice for Flying Pig which has its own very long hill.
Weather: Started in the low 40s and got up to the 50s by the time I was done. It was cloudy but the sun poked out from time to time.
Wardrobe: I ran in capris and a shirt, and arm sleeves. I took the sleeves off at the bottom of the big hill. I wore my orange visor.
Execution: My heart rate did stay within range back up the hill, but it went haywire shortly after that. I mostly ignored my heart rate alarm for the last two miles of the running. Sigh. I have to say, that hill was nowhere near as bad in real life as I'd made it up to be in my mind.
Nutrition: Before the run I had a handfull of apricots. During the run I had some water and a whole pack of chews. I had chews at miles 4, 6, and 9. By the time I was home I felt like I'd had too many chews. Good lesson for next time.
Bonus: According to Strava, the last time I ran at Ft Snelling was the end of July last summer and the time before that was late June last summer.
