Notes

Met up with Scorpio on his morning run. We ran up Oak St. and looped around to his street. Left him there and headed back to my house to shed the pants and gloves(mistake). Grabbed some water and a gu. Headed out to Pleasant st. and turned around at the Y, headed back up Gebung. Grabbed some previoulsy dropped gatorade and water at the magic tree and also had another gu. Saw a nice little insprational note attached to my water that read "you can do it!". So then I decided the last 5 or 6 would be at GMP. This run went well so I guess I'll go ahead and register for Maine Coast. I know, I deserve it, go ahead, call me an asshole, liar, sandbagger. I really don't know what changed my mind, maybe it's all the Boston marathon nastalgia or my recent half success, or maybe you just can't trust those Gadbois' when they say "I'm not going". Whatever it is I'm undertrained for a mrathon but we'll see what happens. See you all there in a few weeks.

Nice run. Ya freakin' sandbaggah !

I would say you're trained. The only thing your training may have been missing was this 20.

Your ready and it's taper time.

That's a really nice run, and fantastic finish. I like how you noted "left Steve" and your pace immediately improved.

I think I said this before "The cat is out of the bag" Nice run after scorpio!

Scorps

Nice run Eric. 15-20 especially impressive.

Egad

Yes, the cat is out of the bag...(where have I heard that before?) Certainly not intended to highlight the slower miles with Steve...we were running uphill after all. Glad to have the company for some of this. I waited by the tree hoping to for a Gadman sighting,suited up and ready for a run. But he doesn't have anything to train for...right?

Scorps

That's ok Eric. Don't worry about the comments of Mr. "I just should have laid down in the middle of the road and prayed for a car to hit me" and his related douchebaggery. You're going to kill it again @ Maine Coast.
