    Summer Solstice Watermelon run and done!  Every runner gets a t-shirt and a watermelon.  I also won my ag so I got a medal and pair of running shorts (size large).

    <7 6:47

    I ran most of the first four of seven laps with runnerclay (good going Ron) that time passed quickly.  However, running in the dark is crap!   Once it got dark...blah.

    A nice, very well run / organized race.  Flat course.  Very hot / humid.

    It's hard to push yourself when you can't catch the guy in front of you, can't see the guy behind you, and and it's 8,000 degrees out.

    For whatever reason I thought my 5k PR going into Saturday was 18:56.  It wasn't.  It was 18:53... which is what I ran AGAIN on Saturday.

    Mt Aggie 6 Hour

    Mount Agamenticus, ME

    27 miles / 9 loops    So...count me in for that. Basically, a 6 hour race on a 3 mile trail loop that includes a 600 foot climb.  I won't actually be able to stay all 6 hours due to family comittments but I bet I can get a marathon in before I have to leave.

    I have an immense new respect for what it takes to earn a bronze buckle. This was maybe the hardest thing I've ever done. I didn't get the silver, but I am damn proud of finishing, and I will treasure my buckle.

              Goals: 1OA and PR

               

              I've raced this young, local race 2 of the 4 years it's been run. I came in 2nd and 3rd those years.  My friends are mocking me to no end over my inability to win.  There's a 4:52 miler in it this year.  His 5k PR is 17:40. But since it's a 10:30 start, he might melt and I might not.  You never know.

                  First attempt at anything longer than 50k. Goal is 11 hours, but seriously, if I finish I will be ecstatic!

                  MTA: It is not a trail, it is a fairly flat route along a multi-purpose pedestrian path.

                    you could shoot him in the back.

                    Well, you're on to something. I might be able to score a bee bee gun. All I'd have to do is brandish - OMG. Jeff, he was aiming for you!

                      you could shoot him in the back.

                            Beast run was tonight. Didn't take it seriously so wouldn't have been in contention anyway. Only drank 4 beers during my 6 loops. Was sober enough to drive home afterwards if I'd had a car. Maybe next year I'll go for the win. This year with the overcast it got dark early so the winner I think only ran 7 or 8 laps (9 or 10 beers).

                             

                            Actual race this week will be (once again) Back Cove 5k. Still want a season PR that I completely screwed the pooch on last week. So, aiming for sub-18:18 on Wednesday night.

                             

                            Race: Back Cove 5k

                            Night: Wednesday, 6/20

                            Goal: Sub-18:18

                            Location: Portland, ME

                              You don't need a pacer.  Really.  If you can't run without one, maybe you will get lucky last minute with this.  Or you can roll into Foresthill and announce that you need a pacer.  There is usually someone there that is looking to pace.

                              "Make no little plans. They have no magic to stir men's blood."  -Daniel Burnham

                                Yeah. I did my first 100 without a pacer. And yes, I've heard there will always be people ready to pace at Foresthill. But she was such gonna be such a great pacer; I was looking forward to running with her.
