    "Anyone can do it in ideal conditions"- A quote from a true NE CN runner and friend.

      Great job Pine-landers...  Cremer, Lance, Michael, Michelle, Noel & Cuch

       

      Nice thing about being a Pine-lander is there can be more than one winner.  (queue Queen music)

      What was I chasing again?


      "Beep, Beep!"

        And Noel!

        Life's journey is not to arrive safely to the grave in a well-preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways thoroughly used up, totally worn out and loudly proclaiming ... WOW! What a ride!

          Jim in Wells had a good race too (25K).  And Kristin Bouchard. 

           

          Really anyone who is anyone was there.  Wink

             Yes -- missing this race is my only regret regarding leaving Maine Evil

            I'm amazed at how many of you have moved up to the 50K --- I may have to find a way to come visit next year..

            Congrats to everyone.  

              Haven't seen the results yet, but word on the street is that it's time once again to break out the "Congrats on Another Win" stamp for Mr. Mccullough.

               

              MTA: And then the next day he appeared like the phantom of Kennebunk Beach and kicked my ass. It was kinda weird. Never saw him before the race, never caught him during the race though his back was in sight the entire way, and never saw him after the race. I actually never saw his face at all.

                You should run faster. 

                 

                  You should run faster. 

                   

                  Next time I'll try that.

                        The funny thing to me is that when I looked at the results before this, I didn't even notice that my own name was misspelled.

                            Guess I gotta get older, since I sure as hell ain't gettin any faster!

                             

                            Creamer -- I mean Cremer, I had to get back to Sanford by 11am, and I ran a 4-mile cool down; hence my "phantom" appearance.  If I had known you were running this, I would definitely have paced with you, and who knows how we would have finished.  As it is, I have John Webber to thank for keeping me on pace, although we both slowed toward the end.  Guess it's that age thing, eh, Johnny?

                            Older, slower, and trying to keep up with Tall Dave.

                              Lance, this is the girl who almost "chicked" you last year, and who paced me to a PR at the St. Thomas 5k in October:

                              She's proof it really does help to be young.  (That's discouraging to the rest of us.)

                              Older, slower, and trying to keep up with Tall Dave.

                                Yeah, she's a good runner. 

                                 

                                As I recall, that scene was a little embrassing.  I didn't realize until too late that they were trying to yell at me to get out of the way for 1OA female.  I even apologized to her and she seemed nice.  She was probably just doing a tempo run or something while I was gasping for air.
