| 32+ miles pacing my friend and OG trail runner, Stan, to a 5th place finish in the Arkansas Traveller 100. I'd say sub-21 hours is pretty salty for a 59 year old.
35 Total, including a couple more to encourage a friend leaving the aid station at which I was volunteering before pacing. She was equally awesome, finishing her first 100 miler.

| Just over 21 miles in 3 hours, starting east from Two Rivers Bridge parking lot, making a big loop through Hillcrest, then returning for a shortish out-and-back across TRB; all easy with exception of a few MP effort surges on the bridges and hills.

| Ran 1.5 miles to Ouachita National Recreation Trail (OT) spur trail near my house, then west on the OT until my watch hit 90 mins (8.1), turning around and making my way back the same way. This rocky, technical trail is a treasure, and it was great to have the forest to myself this morning, but I continue to struggle with not insignificant tightness/pain throughout my midsection.
16.3 in 3 hours; 19 Total with 2+ miles walking later.

| 22.2 miles of "urban" running in 3.5 hours in NLR while Max was in referee training. It pretty well despite conditions (lots of concrete sidewalks and hard rain during second half of run), and I managed 7:23 and 6:57 for miles 10 and 11, but only 7:51 and 7:36 for miles 20 and 2…in a driving rain with stiff legs! The planned workout was 90 mins easy, 15 mins close to [trail] marathon pace, then repeat.
23 Total with a little walking.

The rain moved on after a mile or so, but the clouds stayed, and it was very pleasant.
