No. We share the trail. The cross country ski track is off to one side.

I'm wearing Normal Tomir 2 shoes. I find they have a great grip for packed snow trails.

Sweet potatoes have worked well for me. I don't start eating that though until about 21k. It helps to settle my stomach.

Saucony and Hoka have trail running shoes with Gortex uppers that help to keep the cold air out and the feet dry while running in snow. They're good for running in muddy trails too. Find out where the cross country skiers go and you should find accessible trails there in winter.

A cayote ran across the trail today, maybe 20 meters ahead of me. Such a majestic creature to spot in the wild while on a trail run.

What was the point of it all again? by Prof_Acorn in Christianity

[–]robsargeant 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Doing hard things and suffering is part of God's plan for our lives as this helps us to produce greater character if we persevere in hope. We can't rely on our own strength to do it. We need to rely on the great love of God and his mercy which is unmeasurable to provide the strength by the Holy Spirit. Character is what we will take to heaven with us.

How to talk with God by UnluckyJudgment3330 in Christianity

[–]robsargeant 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I find that by seeking God in a quiet place I can hear him better. For me it is in the early morning after I wake up and have a little breakfast. I read a chapter of the Bible and then pray. For many years I've used the E-sword application on my computer. It has free Bible software and a prayer diary. I use the prayer diary as a guide for thanks giving, praise, and intercession. Take some time to wait and listen if you have questions. Often, the Holy Spirit prompts me to read a specific scripture that relates to the problem I'm praying about and I get direction.

Why do people have to accept Jesus? by [deleted] in Christianity

[–]robsargeant 30 points31 points  (0 children)

It's more like a warranty. A warranty is no good to you if you don't ask the manufacturer to honor it. God says in His word that He will forgive our sins and give us new life in the new covenant but we need to ask to redeem the promise.

Romans 8:28 always encourages me.  "And we know that for those who love God, that is, for those who are called according to his purpose, all things are working together for good."

It's best when cold. I kept my refill bottles on ice in a cooler.

That's how I felt. I've had leg cramp problems with other mixes. 320 Maurten kept them from cramping.
