But I sense you might not approve. regardless kestrou, <a href="http://kestrou.youaremighty.com" rel="nofollow">YOU ARE MIGHTY</a>!

Until, that is, I actually had one! :) I ran a 28.4 mile trail ultra two months ago and the thermometer read exactly ZERO degrees Fahrenheit at the start. Since it was fairly windy, the wind chill was MINUS SIXTEEN. brrrr.... Seven miles into the run my bottle of Gatorade was a perfect slushy. Ten miles in it was frozen solid, so I spent the last 18 miles melting snow in my mouth for hydration. I had some gels in my waistpack, but they were frozen SOLID and completely inedible. Fortunately I also had a couple small sleeves of trail mix that I could eat. So, as much as I love ya Dean-O, I think a better idea would be something along the lines of "Steaming Hot Mocha PowerBar Latte" or, perhaps, microwaved (warm) PowerBars for inserting in your gloves and running tights. Anything except a cold drink at the North Pole!!! kestrou I always thought how cool it would be to have a slushy or snow cone when running. Until, that is, I actually had one! :)
