49:24 total, with 2 mi @ 6:50 pace. I was going to do more 2 mi repeats but my Achilles tendon feels a bit tweaked (I blame this on running on a Woodway treadmill yesterday - they're very soft but seem to work the calf muscles differently) so give me points for holding back a bit this morning.

Good legs this morning, purrrr

Cake victorious in Labor Day 5-Miler, BDN

Enjoyed a great 8m with Shannon & Zoe. Got to see Vanessa, Julie, & Kasch afterwards. Even got to see John S on our post-run walk. Rock Star moments were had with hugs from Kasch and Zoe before departing. Vanessa did 4 miles to Duck Brook. Life is good in the woods.

felt really good to be back in the college fishbowl. Shoulder hurt a bit during the swim but the pain is gone now. Looking forward to getting a stroke critique.

Phyics lab now :P it says 2pm-5pm on my schedule, I really hope it doesn't last three hours.

What a great Labor Day weekend and congrats to all for some strong racing. My last run was a beautiful 20-miler on Sunday in Biddeford with the southern Maine boys. Ran around Hills Beach and the Pool.

back to running again. Things just get in the way sometimes. Felt great. Sometimes I forget how good running makes me feel. Echo lake-lurvey spring loop. Good Job all you racers! And thanks to the Hubbell family for the great Katahdin pictures.

9 miles out and back on the lake stretch with the last 5 miles progressive. I went from an 8:54 pace in mile 5 down to a 7:14 pace in mile 9. I'm happy with it.

I must admit I was having motivational issues doing this at 4pm after working today, but I did it. :) My medium long runs have been shorter than they should be, but I have a crazy schedule the next two weeks and I hope it will get better after that.

1/4 mile walking cooldown.

15 long, slow miles on the Newbury Neck Road with Judson.

Well, true, Judson didn't run quite that far, but he did get done a whole lot quicker.

Also Judson's experimenting on me with a few recovery strategies he's picked up from observing Austin. For example, we stopped at Burger King on the way home this evening.

around Cape Jellison after a meeting in Lewiston. A case of too many in the car... not enough on the roads.

Long Run today on the carriage roads. EL CCW then under the bridge to WHP+PH loop then back under the bridge and around EL CW. I was spent at the end. First time since I started this marathon training that I honestly felt like I couldn't run another mile. Makes me nervous.

I did get to see Julie chasing Kasch by the bridge and a run by Bob, Vanessa, Shannon and Zoe. What a difference a day makes, hundreds of people on the trails yesterday, today only a couple dozen or so.

with the brakes on. This was more about shaking out the cobwebs than about training, so I consciously slowed myself down a few times out there.

DeLaney and I will be at EL tomorrow around 9:30 if anyone wants to join us for an easy run around the lake.

Shannon, hope you can make it....I forgot to call and now it's getting late.

came by tonite and worked on our computer and now it runs as fast as he does
now if he could do something with my right foot !!!
