good Green Bay Trail 20 mi 03:14 09:41 pace
First two miles were brutal, then not so bad. Surprised that my pace was a bit faster than yesterday's but that's kind of the trend with these back to back long runs. Hard to believe I did the 43... read more

good Green Bay Trail; FS S to Winn... 23.4 mi 03:50 09:49 pace
Ok, not my fastest pace but this being 73 miles in 8 days (at the end of my buildup cycle) compensates a little. Legs held up well until the last few miles. I seem to be pretty dialed in on fueli... read more
