35,400 scy for the week :D

for the birthday wishes! :)

very nice run, scenic. Now to get ready for the Ocktoberfest! Come on over, lot's of fun!

for the Edenometer this morning. I'm embarrassed to even log it, but because the Red Sox kept me up late last night and I had to be up early to be a volunteer gopher for an event here in town called People for the Steeple!, I only had time to sneak in two miles.

One of the women belonging to the church here in town came up with the idea to hold a community 3 mile walk to raise funds for repairing the church steeple. So, gopher I was for all of the People for the Steeple that turned out and walked and solicited donations for each mile. It was fun, but the amazing part about it was that they raised over $2,500!

Go team! Good luck at the races today and tomorrow everyone.

finished 4th overall (50:20 or so). First was Erik McCarthy - a hair over 44 minutes. Kathleen Bell won for the women. More reports and results will follow. Course was in great condition - they blew any and all fallen leaves off the trail! Probably headed to Blue Hill for an old fashion weekend double on Sunday.

with CeCelia and DeLaney.

I see the MDI Marathon is on the upcoming events list....reality is sinking in that I am running a marathon next weekend!!!

and also another 11 miles last week that I haven't had time to report in my travels. I met Jean at Duck Brook this morning and we walked over to the Breakneck Ponds and back before I ran Witch Hole. Beautiful day beautiful day....

Apparently they all migrated north to Jacobs Field.

:-)

Vanessa & I logged a total of 11 miles walking from Parkman Mtn. Beautiful Fall morning. Happy Birthday DeLaney (& don't you worry about that MDI marathon Suzanne - you are going to run strong.) Alyie, no more close calls for you - Okay?

Nice running RK. We'll be rooting for all of our racers tomorrow.

Life is good in the woods.

Ginger, I'll be pulling for you to BQ! Your approach and focus on this goal the past few years are part of what makes Boston such a great event, and reward.

Judson, you've done all the work and logged some of your long runs in conditions as warm as you'll have tomorrow. Best of luck to you and Evan!

38 miles (BH counter-clockwise to NEH) in 8:44 on mostly quiet water today as part of the Circle of Hope. This event supports the work of the Lustgarten Foundation for Pancreatic Cancer Research. Please visit lustgarten.org to read about some of the projects and patient services they fund - including their recent work on Palladin mutations.

A few miles on foot after the paddle in the direction of my car and an enchilada. Some more miles tomorrow to wrap up the circle.

I know you will all do great. We will be watching on the computer and waiting by the phone.

Sara, Matt, Maggie and Fenway

I'm doing Maine-half.Weather looking real good if it holds up.

Just a few more hours.. I'm itching to go. I had a really nice 30 min. run on the hotel treadmill, legs felt light and well rested. I can see how it's going to be a lot of downhill. It's very hilly and pretty (in some parts.) Temp. prediction for tomorrow has lowered a bit- it's hard to believe with current temp. in the high 70's. I'll be in touch!
