AM: North Side - 4 miles, averaged 8:54. Early. Well. Not for adults. Off to Maine to run Beach to Beacon on Aug 3.

PM: didn't get out after traveling. That's okay. Plenty of running available this week. Plenty of family time as well. It's been a while. Had 20 more minutes than I realized this morning. Oh well. Good, actual recovery day.

In unrelated news, perhaps the only downfall to Saucony is their odor retention factor. I could smell them in my racing bag (while wearing a suit coat I brought for my cousin's wedding). I may have been the only dude in the airport wearing a suit coat and a Timex and Salomon trail backpack.

RYAN HALL DEENA KASTOR AND MEB ARE RUNNING BEACH TO BEACON. I learned this through Facebook on the way to my parents. Also, my mother and sister picked strawberries with one Joan Benoit Samuelson. Many runners who know their running history (Jake, Mr. Murphy I suspect and others) will remember she's a 2:21 marathoner. I knew she was sub-2:30 and an Olympian, but I didn't know she was a gold medalist. I'm looking forward to running the course, running fairly well and running a legitimate course. I'm glad my parents will get to see some world class runners. I'm still working on running an 800 as fast as these guys are averaging 6.2! 27:27 course record in 2003.

You'll have fun there. One year I'd love to head east and run beach to beacon and Falmouth.

Joanie's longevity is perhaps her greatest attribute. Look at her marathon times as she got older... I think she qualified for the Olympic trials like 7 times or something crazy like that.

I think it's my only race anyone has ever heard of! Except Indy Monumental. Paul ran in 2010 when I was a spectator and mere hobby jogger. Maybe the second time he ran sub-2:20 (in 29 degree weather). Glad to see him running it this year.

Some decent Maine runners. 29:27ish for the Maine course record. A top 100 finish would mean a race day magic day. More concerned with an honest 10k time for my board.

I think it would be fast for the altitude folks, slight next downhill, bit of a climb at 5 (you probably know the course).

I've been wanting to run since I started running two and a half years ago.
