I'm liking the half snatch. It's move I've only done a handful of times and mostly due to grip issues with a heavier bell when I was snatching much heavier. There's a nice rhythm to the motion and a bit more explosivness because of the shorten drop from the lockout. In my oppinion anything that helps with explosivness is great for trail running and the fact that kettlebells allow one to do so safely with a lighter weight and higher reps is a major advantage. Some might not see ot this way though but it's been proven so for me at least through the years.
Something a little different tomorrow (I think) - I'll run laps around a local lake here (2.40) instead of an out and back course I usually choose. No real reason other than the mental challenge of hitting that many loops (9) It's a pretty course though and they'll be lots of people out to help pass the time - the public restrooms are a big plus too.
