| Lots of hiking and trail work today. My parents and I put in about 8 hours on the Ouachita Trail, preparing our adopted section for hikers to continue enjoying through late spring into summer.

| I enjoyed the morning at the Arkansas Ultra Running Association's Mt. Magazine Trail Run. This fun run is well organized by Paul "PT" Turner, very competitive, and offers stunning views from the highest point in Arkansas (2,753ft).
I drove up very early after a long week, and although I didn't have my climbing legs today, I was able to reframe things and enjoy the race and pose-race fellowship.
Winner Shane Poland came within three minutes of a course record and is putting up stout times in races all over the state.

| AM: 4 easy miles on our trails on a cool morning. After seeing and being forced to kill a large timber rattler yesterday to protect my parents' puppy and baby goats, I was extra vigilant and avoided daydreaming. Karma not on my side now...
PM: 4 miles in just under 27 mins on JTR track. That NEARLY qualifies as a tempo run, and it was in a steady rain! Seriously, though, I'm been doing too much fast and slow with nothing in the sweet spot. Will address that this summer.
Total: 8 Miles.

| Roughly 51 miles in roughly 11:30 hours at Magnet Cove track. This includes 4-8 minute breaks after every 4.17 miles. It was very hot, and I was in direct sunlight from 8am until finish (started around 6am).
1,926 calories not nearly enough.

| Starting at 6:30am, I ran 4.167 miles every hour, for 27 hours, until I was the only runner remaining. This "Backyard" endurance event was on a nice, rails-to-trails course along the White River in Cotter, Arkansas. Race Director, Jake Anderson, and team did a great job oranizing the event, and they went above and beyond in supporting and encouraging runners along the way. The event was a unique experience for me (as it is for most who undertake such), but I had a good plan and ran well. Loved the familial atmosphere in the Ozarks...and want to get back there soon. I'd be remiss if I didn't give a shout-out to my parents for helping me prepare and pack for what could have been 2+ days of running.
