My legs

feel SO good!! But I will behave, and only ride the bike for the next two weeks. We'll see later how long DeLaney allows me to ride today, I'd like a little more of a workout than 4 miles. lol

3M

nice & EZ and some stretchen'.

Keep running!

8 miles bike

Ahhh, the fun of having the stationary bike in the living room! First, DeLaney wanted me to read her books while I was riding. The bike is hard for me, so this was not an easy task. Then, a little after 7 miles I notice she had stripped off her diaper. "Bottomless, Unpotty-Trained Child" definitely trumps "Id Like To Get a Few More Miles In." So, 8 miles it was! :)

80 pushups and ab work, too.

Pineland Farms

Anyone going down to the trail run @ Pineland this weekend? I can't believe RK is talking me into this...

Oooh

You're lucky you can run! I'm not allowed....for 16 days!!!!

(I'm joking...I'm lucky, too...Judson knows whats best for me.) :)

Have fun, can't wait to hear about it!

Coach Ryan

Is crazy...but we all knew that! He believes that I should be fine to run this weekend, based on how I felt and recovered these past few days, and what I have been running up to this point.

Also I think that, as long as my legs feel good, I should be alright to run a 25K. I just gotta go more conservatively.

Ryan is

a bit crazy, but a good influence and a great guy. Just run Pineland instead of racing it. Your body is more tired than you're acknowledging right now. It would ruin the fun if you were hellbent for glory and had to drag an exhausted carcass through the back half of the run. I wanted to do Pineland this year but had another interesting event fall into my lap so maybe next time.

Definitely

I plan to just run it with no set goal in mind. The fact that I'm running this much so soon after a marathon is a first for me so taking it easy in this long run is probably a priority for me.

4.5 miles

running along the carriage trails in the Bangor Woods with RK. It's a very nice place to run. Legs feel great, if but a little tired.

4.5M Bangor Forest

agreed. much nicer on the trails and easy on the legs. why haven't we done this before?

Men's softball report

1-for-3 plus a walk, and made a few defensive gems. We won 17-12. The city league team now has a 2-3 record on the year.

More Sugarloaf Photos

FotoJack.com

Just type in your bib number, provided they got it. I'm not sure if all the photos are up yet because as of right now, they have one early photo of me but no finish line ones.

1 mile walk with

my track kids. We went out for pizza after practice, but I made them earn it.....I surprised them with some hill repeats in the middle of our walk. hehe

Congrats to Judson on Athlete of the Week!

Again??

They should just make it a permanent thing. Or better, just name him Athlete of the Millennium.

(Way to go Juddy.)

thanks

But Suzanne deserved to be athlete of the week. I took a mere 38 seconds off my pr while she ran a 30 minute pr.

But thanks.

Thanks, Judson

That's sweet of you to say.

I love reading about the track workouts. I can't wait to join you all. I am hoping when I get my summer job schedule, I don't have to work on Wednesday nights!

Congrats Judson

Ya..I've heard they now are going to call it the Sugarcake Marathon.

I've also heard that Rob H. and family may soon be back in our midst. If you're lurking out there Rob, check in and tell us what you all have been up to.

Sounds like a good group at the track!

too funny!!!

Sugarcake Marathon, I love it!! A new nickname, thanks, Frank.

I agree, Suzanne and (Spotter too) deserve it more than someone who wasn't even sore the next day:):)!!!!

And..... I haven't done a thing since Sugarloaf and I've gained 35 lbs. I'll bike around the lake this morning.

I've heard good things about..

Pineland Farms And how many races offer free beer and organic gelato?

Organic gelato

That seems like an oxymoron. Good for you, but then again, not so much.

Track workout

I did 800s with Mary; she was much tougher than me and did six while I did four. There is nothing like company to make a workout that would be serious alone turn out fun. Descend, unintentional but I felt better as I went along; that's the beauty of not doing too many. : ) Great to see Lou, Brian, Tenille, Judson and Kevin again and very nice to meet Caitlin. I missed not having Mark with us. Get well soon!

5m at the track

2m w/u, 400,200,200,400,400 x 2, then a 1 mile c/d with our speed group. They work so hard and I am quite proud of them. It was our 10th and last week of class. Our graduation race is Memorial Day. Sounds like some good track work happening at MDI. Congratulations to Judson on the Athlete of the Week award!

Life is good.

4 miles in CT

4 easy miles in CT. Legs feel a bit tired, and didn't manage to do the pullups I normally do after. But the miles are starting to pile up:)

At the track

Just a couple easy miles to see if my legs would function - they did. I ran three 800's with Caitlin to try to help her find her correct pacing.

mile on Monday

is anyone running the Mem. Day 1 mile in Ellsworth at 9 am all flat/ downhill $10

Will they allow

baby joggers?

Upper Haddock

with Jean, beautiful 4 miles after riding on a plane all day. I'm looking forward to Cabot this weekend. I'm doing a early morning (3:30 am) leg so I have to remember my headlamp and reflective vest.
