easy.

This seasons Eden track workouts will start up again next Wed the 14th at the MDI high school. Frank has secured the permissions from the HS. The target is to have workouts starting around 5:30 pm so come early for your warmup. These are loosely organized and people can come and run their own workout or follow the workout I bring. These workouts can be followed by runners of all abilities and training levels. The weekly Wed evening workouts as well as additional information can be viewed in the Eden Training pages (weekly schedule pending).

The first workout will be a 20 min threshold followed by 4x200M. People racing this weekend can use the workout to try to zero in on their goal race pace.

I hope to see you there.

and strides.

What a difference a day makes! The run was wonderful, I kept it nice and easy...and the strides felt "delicious". This is the word Brian used when describing to me how they should feel. :)

UPS just arrived with my Wright Socks. Can't wait to try them!

Off to track. Our meet is at the Cohen School in Bangor, if any of you are around and want to cheer us on!

48:09. Took it easy today because I felt sluggish before I even stepped on to the street. My body never likes running mid-afternoon for some reason. In spite of that, an 8-minute pace for an easy run isn't bad at all. That also puts me over 500 miles run for the year so far.

I'll be in Lewiston for the MPBN TV Auction until Sunday morning. I'll also be running in the Run for Relief 5K on Saturday morning. It's so close to where I work and where I'm shacked up that I can walk to and from the race and still have plenty of time to get ready for work at 11. :)

easy with Tom, Amy, and Dilly. I'm waiting for butterfly legs.

ran from the high school out and back on eagle lake road while waiting to pick up my son.

me too. Nice and easy.

...time to get back to Maine! It's 7:40pm and 88 humid degrees out...:)

Glad to see track workouts are about to begin. One reason to look forward to Wednesdays!

on the dreadmill in beautiful Bridgeport, CT in the early am. It's nice to be home tonight.

Keep running!

So... I just got home from work and I wanted a cookie, listen to what I found in the cookie container, written by my lovely husband. "A Cookie? Aren't you in training? Wouldn't it be better if you had a banana and water or juice? Think about it Trainee!"

I'm having 2 cookies.

No watch, sun, Great Meadow Loop, stomach fine. That worked out well.

Ginger, is your husband channeling Nancy Clark? She's the nutritionist who keeps appearing in running mags telling you to order your chicken without sauce and dress your salads with light dashes of oil and vinegar. Um, WHY do you think I run, eh? A big part of it is so I can eat food that actually tastes good without guilt! Bring on the cookies :-)

I'm sure you all know that Tim isn't being critical, he's half joking around but also very much wants me to be happy when I cross the finish line. You guys are all so sweet to stick up for me though:) Although, the Snickers for supper the night before my workout was not a good idea. It was sooo good, though. I got a good lecture about that one! I just want to run my marathon knowing I did everything right beforehand. I tend to beat myself up when I get tired and think about all of the things I did wrong, well not this time.

Training in my household is such a family affair. My family is so supportive. My husband is the one pulling me out of bed many mornings saying go run - we are all sacrificing for this – GO. They are all cheering for me. So when I did not do so well in Boston my oldest said “I am a bit disappointed,” my husband said now you HAVE to run Sugarloaf - you worked so hard, and my little one said to everyone but “she got a medal.” I just wish my husband did not make cookies EVERY night, then go to bed and leave me alone with the lot. I am a cookie monster. Ginger, can your husband speak to my husband about COOKIES? FYI- NO 26.2 for me at sugarloaf . . . for now.
