| 20 miles on a beautiful, sunny afternoon with temperatures soaring near 70. Explored the gravel roads accessible from our trails and had a blast. It's always nice to be reminded of the beauty in your own backyard. Nice soak in our creek at Sophia's bridge after the run.

Race Report:
After hosting a track meet at Joe T. Robinson late into the evening on Thursday, March 18, I traveled to north central Arkansas for three days of running in the Ozark Mountains. This was my first stage race, and I really enjoyed myself. The course offered some of the more beautiful aesthetics I've ever experienced in any race - in any state - and the race organization and logistics under the leadership of director, Jake Anderson, was flawless. Great course, great food, and great folks...a perfect combination for a long weekend doing something I love on the eve of my 38th birthday.

| 6 miles with Evan (on bike) on River Bends Park MTB trails in Shelby, Michigan. Nice discovery near kids' grandparents in Troy, and we had a blast romping around on a cool day.

| Confirming once again what I already knew to be true, you can run anywhere (and usually should!) if you're willing to accept some modest risk of getting lost or trespassing. Today, after pulling off of Interstate 40 in the Lower Mississippi River Delta, I made my way along a cotton field crop road and stumbled upon a section of the Cache River Mational Wildlife Refuge. There was a beautiful levy for running, and I only wish I could have kept exploring.
