Well I must say this board has been busy lately and that?s what I like. It?s a place for Maine runners to meet and discuss issues about running and good races to attend.
With the new blood it has open the discussions and brings different areas in the state and issue to light.
But I must say the underlining issue seems to be time especially with the newer runner and they seem to have gotten caught up with it. I really would hope that you new runners would go out and have a good time. Running is social and for better health and for better mind. What do I mean about this is that you will meet a lot of new friends who are interested in the same thing running. It is good for your health in a lot of ways if done properly and it?s a time away from the pressures of life. So enjoy! This is the way I feel when I?m on the road or trail and I?ve had to talk myself into running because I may be a little tired. But when I?m done I feel so good and have a much better outlook. Now that I?ve been running for four years I?m more aware of my times and can tell about how far I have run by the time it took me. But it?s not a issue because the times will come down if run at least three days a week and as your body gets adjusted to it.

I would be interested to hear what running does for others and why they set the goals they do. Also how long they have run and why they started.

Pmcneb welcome to our little board and I glad to here that you will be come to Maine to do the HM. I have never done a hm and I was hoping to do it this year but I?m not ready. But check in the site it said some small hill at mile 5 and 7. Let?s hope the weather is as nice as it was last year and I think you will really enjoy it. If you want a little warm up the day before there is a 5k in Eliot on Saturday. It?s flat and has some good food after. Good luck and enjoy!

Well keep up the good work on this board folks and have a great weekend I will be in Louden tomorrow and will not run. But those doing the 10k Portland trails or ale run not sure if there the same or not, have fun and report back.

run4thin- I went to your blog and it?s a good start and I really like the picture. The race in Augusta is this the first year for this? You should just signup and not worry about your time.
