Running hills 49:00 [3] 3.75 mi (13:04 / mi) shoes: Asics Gel Kahana - screw shoes
Ellison Wetlands. Pace sounds very slow, and it was, but effort was much higher than pace would indicate. Trails were fairly slick, with an inch or so of fresh snow, often on top of leaves. Very cautious (and slow) going downhill. Because of traction difficulties, uphills were more work than normal.
Screw shoes helped a lot; certainly wouldn't have done this run w/o them. But they can only do so much to help traction when the issue is fresh snow and wet leaves, as opposed to hard-packed snow or ice.
