I want to extend a big thank you to the sponsors of 18 of my last 19 mid-week workouts. The Maine Running Company on Forest Avenue, Portland Trails, and Mizuno made this race series possible, along with all of the individuals who volunteered their time and effort every week for the last 5 months.

Damn, Blaine! Those are times I can only dream of. Well done!!
[...] Since May, I have been taking part in the Portland Trails Back Bay 5k race series. Every Wednesday night at 6:00 for the last 19 weeks there has been a free 5k around the back bay trail. [...]
Thanks Wes. I have a slight advantage on you, though, since I have been running for a lot longer than you have.

[...] I reviewed the Mizuno Wave Rider running shoes. I recently retired them and tossed them in the trash, but I did pretty well by them. Mizuno has also been pretty generous to my local running community. Recently, they donated 8 pairs of shoes as prizes for the 2006 Back Bay 5k race series. [...]

CONGRATULATIONS on winning the last race, on running the whole 18 and for your third place in the overall standings!
