Got in my 30 minutes of x-c skiing last night for 2:15 for the day. That ski machine should at least get me into good shape over the next couple of weeks while my mileage is low. Once I make the switch to doubles and triples of running I probably won't bike or ski much. Nothing like running but running.

Today is a day off from running. I may do some x-training.

I got a PR! I got a PR! I got a PR! I got a PR! I got a PR! Please note: It's a PR by TWENTY SECONDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

• June 9. YMCA Spring 1-Mile Fun Run, Bar Harbor

• June 9. MDI YMCA Spring 10-K, Bar Harbor

was that! I had a great time with the timing. I got chills watching Karen break 50- huge pr for her today! I've got some work to do to see a time like that. All my running buddies were in one big clump, they all did wicked good.

Nora- Way to go with your pr, you looked so determined, I loved it.

Judy- You certainly had a strong run today, awesome job!

I was proud of my boys today too. I could have died watching Elliot come in for the big finish with that great big Eden Athletics hat. I have to admit, he's pretty darn cute.

3.75 for me today.

Great job to the volunteers at today's 10K ... that race was extraordinarily well organized ... volunteers at every corner, water, fast results, food ... well done all around.

I was looking for a nice tempo run and today was perfect ... 6:05 pace, with only a few seconds variation between each mile. Fun, too.

Kudos to Andy Beardsley for running 34-low all alone; that's a nice time on a not-so-easy course. And great job to all the Edeners, who put in a strong showing.

Congrats on your PR Nora! I did a PR!!!!!!! too! I love how you wrote that :)

Great day, nice people, enthusiastic volunteers. A great way to start off the Eden Athletics / Jack Russell’s race series.

I am so sorry. DeLaney and I were supposed to volunteer at the refreshment table today, and she slept WAY later than she has been lately. (Which was a lovely treat for me) By the time she was up, there was no way we could've gotten it together and made it on time. :(

Congratulations to everyone; especially Nora and Karen with those PR's! Way to go!

Will be doing my run in a bit....

I echo Matt's comments--that was a very well-organized race on a lovely morning.

I was hoping for a nice tempo run, but it turned into a very hard effort at what I'd hoped would be tempo pace. I think the difficult, injury-riddled winter took quite a toll, as my heart rate today was similar to where it was last year when I ran this race almost a minute per mile faster. Ah well, at least I can be realistic about where I am now and how much work I need to do to get where I want to be.

41 minutes of biking.

with my best friend. Wicked humid, I hope that clears.

Ian graduates from high school tomorrow. I tried to remember my graduation and you know what I remember best? The run I did that morning :P

in town SWH

Season 2 starts next week. Very exciting.

Season Two

Scheduled to begin Friday June 15th, 2007 at 9:00 PM ET/PT

1. Everglades, South Florida - (June 15, 2007)

With two million alligators, thousands of snakes and even black bears, these waterlogged lands have many hazards. Bear Grylls demonstrates how to keep the alligators at bay, deal with vicious razor-sharp grass, and find stomach-churning food that will keep you alive if you found yourself stranded in this beautiful but deadly tourist destination. This water logged wilderness has not changed for thousands of years. It covers over 4000 square miles and last year over 60 tourists died because they didn't have the skills to survive.

1. Iceland - (June 22, 2007)
2. Mexico - (June 29, 2007)
3. Kimberly Australia - (July 6, 2007)
4. Ecuador- July 13, 2007
5. Scotland-July 20, 2007
