Eden Athletics is pleased to announce the schedule for the 2008 Eden Athletics – Jack Russell’s Steak House Points Series. This Series, now in its second year, allows runners the opportunity to earn points based on their overall, or age-group, finish in each of the twelve races that comprise the Series. At the end of the season, point totals are tabulated for each age-group and “open” category and awards are presented to the top finishers in their respective groups.

The Series will kick off next week with the Flat Top 5k on March 29th and will conclude with the Running of the Wildcats 5k on November 8th. Based on the interest we saw develop throughout last season we anticipate that this year there will be a strong “core” group of runners vying for points at all of these events.

The races in the Series include:

March 29th - Flat Top 5k (Lamoine)
June 14th - MDI YMCA 10K (Bar Harbor)

Exciting news! Eden Athletics now has a new, automated system for tracking our miles!

"Two Trials" fundraiser is set to kick off on January 18th. Join me, Emily LeVan, at www.twotrials.org as I begin my training for the upcoming U.S. Olympic Trials - Women's Marathon and my fundraising to help research, treat, and cure childhood leukemia.

What's your run?

A runner is a miser, spending the pennies of his energy with great stinginess, constantly wanting to know how much he has spent and how much longer he will be expected to pay. He wants to be broke at precisely the moment he no longer needs his coin.
