Hi everyone, I've been encoraged to post here telling you folks about a Guinness World Record attempt in Bar Harbor, on Sept. 9.
Volunteers are needed to help The Town Hill Playground Committee break the Guinness World Record for Laying the Fastest Mile of Pennies. That's right, we need to lay 84.500 pennies in a neat, continous line in under 2 hours, 26 minutes, and 7 seconds. Team leaders, general helpers, and penny-layers are needed.
This event is to raise funds for the creation of the Town Hill Playground on Route 102 in Town Hill.
The record attempt is on September 9, starting at 1 p.m., in the upper parking lot of the Jackson Laboratory in Bar Harbor. Penny-layers should arrive by 12:30 p.m., Volunteer should call to find out assignments. Bring your spare change for the playground!!
Contact Joy Kelly at 288-9499 for information or to volunteer. Thanks for your help!!
I have added the event to our calendar. It sounds like fun...start saving your pennies, everyone!
like a great way to raise funds. I'll start saving now and be willing to run pennies to their proper place at record-setting pace. : )
in 56:30 and a quick stretch.
I had a great time at the Red Sox game last night, but did they have to wait 'till the last inning?
Keep running!
Go team!
6M walk yesterday, too. Didn't get it recorded on the Edenometer! I get slower every day.
This new spell check thingamajiggy is making me nervous. And it's not accurate. Sheesh. Doesn't it know that Edenometer, thingamajiggy and sheesh are words?!
around ellsworth. most of it down on shore road.
cluttering your personal solar system? Bring them to the track workout this afternoon (5:30 P.M at MDI HS), log a few quick orbits, and help support the club.
I'd need to schedule a pick up! :) Wine therapy...tough to keep up on the returns!
today. A run is planned for tomorrow morning from the Witch Hole at 7:00AM--if anyone is interested:)
Duck Brook, Paradise fig-8 + O&B to Eagle Lake.
What a variety of fabric softener fragrances were out there this morning. Are people on the carriage roads these days really cleaner than usual? -- Or do they just like to smell nice?
quit running so much and start watching more Home and Garden TV. It's the Bounce Factor --- you know those little thingy's people chuck in the clothes dryer that smell good? They're supposed to keep the bugs away, too. I guess you stick 'em under your hat or in your shorts or wherever. And nope, I haven't tried it. I find that not washing the clothes I wear outdoors for six months or so works just fine at keeping the bugs away.
when you're done using them in the dryer and as a bug repellent, they work GREAT at removing bugs/tar/etc from your cars and planes!
Day off for me...
wet run. kept it loose. got in done.
Brown Mountain loop.
Coach's plan said: "last 1/2 mile of second run HARD". But I'm still working on subjective measures. With the way my legs have felt the past few days, I knew I probably would not be confusing HARD with FAST.
Being downhill, the last half mile actually turned out to be kind of fast, and the effort was certainly hard, maybe even Hard, but I'm not quite willing to call it HARD, which I take to be only about half a notch under flat out and maybe punctuated with a little puking. So, I'll report it as fast and Hard. I will say that it felt good -- a welcome change.
I haven't found anyone to accompany me yet. I'll probably just do a couple laps around the lake, hoping someone might join me for a lap. I need to go VERY easy, probably a 10 min. pace would make Judson very happy. I'll be there at 8:20.
I'll report later on tonight about my workout.
keep an eye out for Pam from Missouri. She will be in the area this week, looking for company to run at about 10 min pace. I told her that Eagle Lake is a favorite meeting spot for Eden runners.
halcyonrun@earthlink.net ~ I would LOVE to "help" you out!!!
16 minute warmup and some strides.
8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1 minute pieces each getting faster with half jog rests. So the rests get shorter as you go down making it pretty hard at the end. Total workout was 53:30 and then I jogged 3:28 to the 10-mile mark to make it 56:58 for 10-miles which I thought was ok since there was 20 minutes of jogging in there. It was hot, blah.
Added on 4 minutes at the end just to loosen up some and try and cooldown although it was so hot there wasn't much of a point.
2 miles easy, 4 miles tempo, 2 miles easy.
I have signed up for a 10-miler on Sunday which starts and finishes on the track at my high school. Should be fun running in the old 'hood.
hope you have a strong race.I'm doing a 5k in Scarborough Fri night 6:30pm.Will report results.
1/2 mile w/u, 3 miles at tempo pace, 1/2 mile c/d.
I hope it's healed!
today was better than yesterday. I used the moleskin and that seemed to help.
My husband reminded me that I did something I should not have done, and I am embarrassed to even admit it. I always buy my shoes (same shoe every time...Asics Gel Kayanos) at CMS for $135. About 6 or 7 weeks ago, I got a coupon from Finish Line for $25 off. I desperately needed new shoes then, but when I go, they only have size 9s. (I have been wearing 9.5) The guy felt my foot and said they felt fine. I am wondering if my attempt to save a buck has resulted in all these problems....I bet I need to be back in a 9.5. Boy do I feel stupid! :(
I'd take a hill workout over a tempo any day. Tempo's are the most challenging to me. Nice work ladies.
12 of those min. was Hard hill running. The workout; 2 mile w/u, 8X90sec. hills, jog back down rest. 2 mile c/d. I loved how the w/u seemed to be all uphill. I guess I'll be thankful in Oct. Judson made me go out in the dark to buy a carriage road map late last night. He wanted me to start at Brown Mt. and run from sign post 18 to 13, I guess there's a good hill around post 13. I know this will come as a shocker, but we somehow managed to take a wrong turn somewhere. We found a decent hill over by sign post 20. Amy N.'s following my training program and she seems quite motivated. It's great having a partner. She hasn't done speedwork in a while, she really liked it. Our paces seem to be very close, so that's awesome.
Thanks Chris! I'll definitely keep an eye out for Pam.
I hear you about the tempo run; for some reason I really wanted to quit, but didn't.
SO wish I could run with you tomorrow; 12 days of babysitting left and I'll be a free woman again during the day!
I always feel like I want to quit on tempo runs too. It's such a great rush to successfully complete a workout, especially a tempo.
Belatedly, the Edenometer says "Welcome to Beijing!"
Postmarked July 24 Miles from Bar Harbor: 18,542 Miles from Baa: 3,525
As far as running stuff to do, there's the Olympics.
Fun time at the track with 400's. Thanks for the workout Kev & all the great company out there. Good to see Jeff Bruce back. Tom K was putting on a great shoe clinic out there. thanks Tom. Life is good in the woods and at the track.
were fun! It's kind of entertaining to do such a short distance with such a long rest. Jeff was blistering the track, and Bob, Kevin, Tom, Lou, my favorite Bells and I were all trying to stay in the same time zone. Lots of encouragement from the peanut gallery--Frank and Mark are jumping in on the speedwork next week I'm sure. Somehow we didn't get rained on, which was a welcome break. Six miles I think.
Suzanne, if I change the style of my shoes my feet often protest. Changing the size almost certainly would cause a tootsie mutiny. Go get different shoes!
weather more like it should be mid-Aug very humid.Fond memories of high school soccer season starting now.Double sessions first 2hrs all running drills no soccer balls until 2nd session in afternoon.After a summer of hanging out with your friends partying everyone would puke at least once.
was Tom K. doing there? Oh... wait a minute, he's not racing this weekend,so he can run once this week:) You know I love ya Tom, wait till you see what I have for you in the morning.
i am busy setting up my new shoe tying booth for the next race i am only going to re/tie one of your shoes so you will be able to tell the right from the left that can of Red Bull let me stay with Shannon for a couple of 400's then it wore off but the gauges in my van worked after i let Shannon so it was worth it ( i spilled a little on the floor and it was enough to get the gauges to work again for awhile) i am not sure it will take bugs off car paint but it may take all the paint off it you are going to re/paint your car
4.5 Tuesday, deer fly bait at a slow pace around WHP. Then 6 yesterday at the track, round and round and round and round. Funny how the social component makes that seemingly deadly run more fun than carriage roads every now and then.
On a fairly warm 87 deg evening. One more day in the 90's then a nice cooldown for the weekend.
I'm trying so hard to get my pacing together without a lot of success. Still trying to hit 2:25 400s on a regular basis - First 3 were: 2:18, 2:22, 2:12 (This one was with Mark W help). So I said, ok, lets try for 2:20s. The next 3 were: 2:28, 2:27, 2:24. Oh well, maybe next week. Bob said he would try to help by running a few 2:20s with me to give me the feel of it all. Stay tuned.
Forgot to post this yesterday, I was too busy watching A Clockork Orange.
the Edenometer likes miles. But where are we going? Why, to the North Pole, of course. This is the Polar Express.
135 miles and some of those are MILES
