Thoughts:
Weather was outstanding. 35 degrees when I left the house and probably warmed up to at least 40-45 degrees by the time I was midway through my run. Snow was mostly gone although some patches of uphill trail were muddy. Ate a handful of dried cranberries and almonds after 1:20 and a few pinches of sea salt to prevent cramping. Repeated this at 2:30. Did notice some cramping in quads around mile 13 but shot a couple more salt pinches and the cramping went away.
