Long run on the old railroad grade by my house.  Tried our my new Go Lite pack and some Clif Shot blocks since I gotta get used to running with them.  Started out too fast and paid the price later (average pace was 7:55).  Felt pretty good overall but ended up with some nasty blisters from my still newish trail shoes.  If I can rock a sub 8:00 pace for 15, I think I got a sub 9 trail marathon in the bag
