      Yeah - the race was almost 3/4 full when registration opened so it only took a day and a half to fill, unfortunately. Sad

          Caught the last 30 minutes of a documentary on MPBN television, The Home Road, about a gentleman, Ray Shevenell, 74, who set out to walk from Quebec to Biddeford -- retracing the steps of his great-grandfather immigrating to Biddeford on foot from Quebec.

           

          He's wearing MidWinter 10 shirts of recent vintage for most of the walk.

            Hey, that's cool! I'd missed this. I passed it along to the rest of the race director crew (though I'd be surprised if they hadn't already seen it.)

              One day at a time

                I've been out with tendinitis for a full year but I'm finally starting Couch to 5K again.  I hope my ankle holds up.

                  Theresa  I have tendonitis too, for a year.  How did you get better?  I've been doing the eccentric heel lowering and not running.  Any other suggestions?

                  PS not to go too off topic - myself and a friend are volunteering at Midwinter classic  ; )

                    To be honest, I mainly just rested it.  PT didn't seem to do much if anything.  I also use ankle braces if I'm going to be doing a lot of walking or running.

                          In 2023, perhaps. Ah well.

                            Tough decision to have to make, but understandable. It's tangential from the issue of herding nearly 1000 people closely into a group, but I'm uncomfortable with the thought of taking time & energy from Cape E's police and paramedics during these times.

                             

                            What really impresses me is the quality of their (Chandra & Blaine?) communications and information; be it website, email content and organization -- I can't think of another race which does it any better...

                              Yep, totally agree with all of that.

                                Ugh, I agree with the decision but it's tough to know we're moving backwards.  So sick of this.
