I have to work. It's a miracle enough that I could get the 12th and 19th off. Anyone looking to hire a college graduate?

I will be at the Cam Neely 5k in Milford. It will be my first race with the Tri-Valley Front Runners the running club I joined. Sorry. Doug.

Nice job on the timing Trent, if things keep going the way they are the only companies hiring will be collection agencies and homeless shelters.

The Cam Neely sounds like fun too Doug, and closer for you. Just pay attention at the start, any runners carrying hockey sticks automatically get the right of way.

I'll be running the Maine Marathon on Sunday. My goal is to do it under 5 hours. I'm hoping around 4:45:00. Anything else is a bonus!

I wouldn't worry about your finish time, just enjoy the run. Hope you get good weather, best of luck Dennis.

Good luck dennis. Ed I really enjoyed Applefeast. Gave me some hope for baystate. I saw a big improvement over my first 1/2 and even one over VB. Still had some gas in the tank and no blisters yet. One hotspot but aside from that all's good. The half might be my distance. Doug.

Nice job Doug, wound up with more than twenty minutes under the cap. Applefest is not an easy course, well done indeed. Did you use scheduled walk intervals?

I finished in 5:08:48. I ran 23 + miles where I only walked during every gatorade stop. When I had 5K to go,all I had to was do a 30:00 5K to finish under 5 hours but I had nothing left. I'm so glad I have done something hard that less than 1% of the world's population has done. I have one month until my next marathon. Any suggestions on improving my time?

It was a good sized crowd having a good time, and that was even before the beer was flowing.

This one's worth marking on the calendar, I was pretty much drinking alone (and driving) so I cut myself off at four beers. As I was heading out, I noticed one guy with an eight cup stack. The kegs were flowing freely. Big grin
