between the raindrops - late morning run.

• June 10. MDI YMCA 10-K, Bar Harbor

Fun times at the Bar Harbor 10K, even if I got outkicked by some crazy guy in a mullet.

10 miles with the warm-up and cool-down.

Didn't know I had 8:20's in me. I believe it's a pr for me, one time I may have done something close to that on flat ground. I'm getting better at pacing myself, that's cool too! Nice job Karen, your plan worked well! Amy, you were looking good too. Great job to all of you Eden runners!

Congratulations to all the runners today!

I had a great time. I really liked the course and I have to admit the first hill wasn't all that bad:)

Thanks to all the volunteers who braved the weather to come out and help the Y. It was great to see everyone working together.

Nice seeing everyone at the Y race today. Rain held off and I placed in my age group (was last in my age group, as well). One fellow runner recommended I put the Ramones on my i-pod and he outkicked me at the end so I am going to try it.

Thanks for soup and cookies, Liddy.

I left the house at 6am. It was cloudy, but very humid. When we got to Machias... it was a different story. Mother Nature dropped a big bucket of water on us. It seemed like it wouldn't stop, which it didn't til' an hour after I got home. It was thundering and lightning too. The 10 miler was cancelled, so i had to do the 5k. First mile steady and strong, second mile the wind pushed me, and tried to hold me steady, and 3 mile was ok, not too too bad. My time ended up being around 20:30. I still came in second overall though. Ozzy came in first with a blistering time of 18:56. Ozzy and I were disappointed that they didn't change the name of the run to the Drowned Rat 10 miler, but we had fun.
I thought before the race, I think I would do pretty good in the 10 miler, but after the race I realized that by the time I was half way there, I would be out of energy from the wind.
Good Luck Judson, Congrats to all that ran the MDI YMCA 10k, and good job Nora in the 1 miler.
Thanks for all of the advice, I think I might do the Casablanca 10 miler.
Anyone doing the St. Andrews 5 miler?
Tycanfly Run For Fun

Early morning run before the Y 10K. Water water everywhere - The front lawn of a house up the street from me now has a small pond, complete with a couple ducks. The good news is there seemed to be fewer slugs. They probably have all drowned.

seeing all the great running today, including at least a few new PR's, including Ginger, Karen and Mary. (Be sure to post those on our records page, by the way.) After all the excitement died down, I enjoyed the company of Matt and Brian for a misty run around Eagle Lake, wherein we discussed the different ways that passers-by react to runners.

The weather was shockingly good for running, and I ran better than expected with a 6:20 pace. Notes: Matt said before the start that he was going to run 6:30s. Yeah, right, I passed the one-mile marker at 6:29 and he and JC were already 30 seconds ahead. The woman's winner, Meaghan from Reading, MA (not PA) is a heckuva racer. She stealthed me completely, didn't hear her coming at all, timed her kick perfectly to leave me 2 seconds behind. I'll have to work on that. The course was good, but the hill on Cromwell hurt quite at a bit at 4 miles.

One milestone--my first ever masters victory :-)

Eagle Lake, with Matt and Chris at the usual pace -- I could set my watch by it at this point.

Thanks to everyone who helped out at the finish line today. Everything went smoothly, Chris and Kev proved remarkably adaptable when Chris's timer failed and they went from Plan B to C without a hiccup. The new race software I think was a success, too. Good test run all around, anyway.

with some surges that I suspect were unperceptible to all but the trained eye. Friendly Fleet Feet (Townside Festival, Roanoke VA) people were along the river path at a water/gatorade table they set up on the weekends to supply runners out on long training runs. A helpful, and much appreciated gesture in the summer months. Ten or twelve Team in Training runners, all in their team shirts, were gathered around their coach receiving final instructions before setting off on a group run. I suspect they are doing the Rock n' Roll Half in Virginia Beach in a few months.

Good running at the Y 10K. Keep bringing it on!

core,8 miles on bike.Great job all who raced today.I was hedging for either Market Square 10K or Close to Coast 10K but plans changed Fri night with a surprise early b-day party for me in Kennebunk.A good job done by all and I was completetly caught off guard.Great food,gifts and St Pauli Girl in abundance.I got a ride home afterwards and did 20 miles on bike then core exercise while half drunk which was interesting.

A brisk 12 today. I saw several old friends drive by, and even ran into one who was running. We stopped and chatted for a few minutes. Every time I've come back from Chicago, I've noticed the hills, but this time seemed harder for some reason. I think I'll be used to them in time for the 8.5 miler on Fathers' Day though.

with your summer racing.Your running in Prague sounds real interesting.

About 7.5 miles on bicycle. 1 mile sweeping for the Kids fun run and a little more than 6.2 sweeping for the 10K.

The run had a few sights not seen awhile, the sun and my favorite insect, the dragonfly.

Running/walking = 109
Swimming = 6000
Biking = 15.5
