      I must have missed when this posted! Fantastic job out there, Goat. I had a feeling you're rock this out--you have the perfect mindset for a trail/ultrarunner. You're laid back and take most things in stride, and you're all about the journey. Fantastic race! Here's to many more.

      Nice run, Goat. When my legs are sore, I feel much better in minimal stuff (though I go to sandals). I'm pretty sure I'm coming to the Possum run. I've never ran that state park, and my legs are starting to bounce back from Mohican. As long as the legs feel good, I'm in.

    Fatigue Fun
    8 min. warm up + 20 min. up tempo + 8 min recover + 19:05 up tempo (ran out of route before I ran out of minutes)
    Only bad part is that I'd hoped to be sub eight on average.

      With a sub-8 average you would have run out of route even sooner! Take your time. Sniff the lilacs! (Says the one with the 12min average this morning.) ;-)
