I decided to craft a nice summer route away from the tourist traffic.  With a 1 year old running sometimes I need to keep my rides to 60 minutes or less.  This route is very rolling and features parts of the Eastern Trail.  I was able to get out on this loop Friday and Sunday with similar results.  Hopefully when my foot is 100% I can drop the time required a little bit.  I’ve named this route the, “Tour De North Berwick”.  Check it out here:  http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=2194015

For me August has been a terrible month for running.  Since August 5th I have experienced sharp pain during and after running.  All I’ve been able to do is ice and medicate my foot with a little ibuprofen.

On 8/16 Helena and I participated in the Old Orchard Beach Breakaway 5k.  This went fairly well.  I ended up placing 170th out of 339 finishers.  My time was 25:07.  I was hoping to break the 24 min mark this time around.  The 5k I ran in May was 24:ish, so my pace was a little off.
