I just noticed the group! Great idea. Eyedocguy, I noticed that you're in Cumberland - I'm in North Yarmouth! I like running on the new sidewalk through Cumberland, although I haven't done it in awhile because of the ice. Shouldn't be long now! The good news is that the postal carrier finally started delivering mail to our private road yesterday. Geez, what a wimp. Just because your car bottoms out on the ridge of ice in the middle of the road! The postmaster in Yarmouth lectured me about the road not being clear. Tons of snow still in our yard. We picked this year to put an addition on our house. It's been hell. But next year we will have an attached GARAGE and a real mudroom, so the misery is worth it. Did anyone run Friday in the wind? Wow, I could hardly even walk in it! Teresa

I'm new here, just found my way in - maybe it was this tough winter we've had this year and I just couldn't find my way! Nice to see a few Mainiacs on the site, hopefully more will find there way. I just looked out my office window and am quite happy to see that the "light snow" we were supposed to get is actually rain already... I'm part of a running group that meets every Saturday in Saco off the Ferry Rd and Sunday in Biddeford at UNE. This has been a very tough year but we actually only had to cancel once. Although we probably should have cancelled a few other times, I remember one storm we ran on Old Orchard Beach which wasn't too bad going with the wind, but on the return jaunt (4+ miles) we had to run against the wind and it was Blizzard like conditions...worse that I've ever run in. We had a great time and figured what the heck after all we are Mainiacs right?! My wife thinks I'm crazy, so does the rest of my family and my friends and my co-workers hmmm maybe they're right.
