Hey where in Gorham and where on Forest Ave are these stores located? I would love to check them out.

I'm probably not going to be doing the track stuff this year. I am concentrating more on my distance running. As I've noted in a few other posts I am giving serious consideration to running an Ultra this fall to celebrate my 50th birthday.

I will continue to do a bunch of the 5 & 10 Ks along with some other races and the Maine Marathon.

After Boston next Monday I already have the Portland Sea Dogs race schedule that was fun last year I really enjoyed it, I have also registered for the B2B and will be doing Doc Tigers 3 miler and many more. Hope to see you guys around at some of these races.

Thanks Elufa, I know right where that is (I actually lived in Gorham while in Junior High School).  Two brother-in-laws still live in Gorham so I will be checking it out real soon.

Thanks again.

Hey Bob, good luck in Boston next weekend. Let us know how you make out. How was Vegas?

How is everyone doing with their running now that the weather is improving. It feels great to be out there in shorts again. It also feels great to be able to increase my mileage again now that the ankle is getting better. I had to shut it down completely for about a week and a half and then slowly started back after it felt good again. This week I got in 40 miles. I am now repeating two days of running followed by a day of rest (well, I hit the weights at the gym and the stationary bike on off days) just so I don't put too much stress on the ankle. Today I did my first long run in over a month, 16 miles at about 9 min pace. But my times in my 5 mile tempo runs are dropping again and back under 7 min pacing. Once I am sure that the ankle is 100% I will start some hill training and hitting the track again for some speed work. I'm trying to get my 5K time to under 20 min by early June.

Well, good luck all on your running and enjoy the weather out there!

Hey good like on Monday for anyone running in Boston or Portland. We know one member is running on Monday in Boston so good luck Bob hand have fun.

Hello, all.

Please note that a new thread needs to be started. You can still see this one via searching the archives. It lives in "Best of the Clubhouse." The search function is in the yellow area above the replies.
