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!!
Thanks Wes. I have a slight advantage on you, though, since I have been running for a lot longer than you have. Give yourself some experience and a few years of training and you will be able to bring your own times down. There are quite a few masters runners on my team that can go under or around 16 minutes in a 5k.
CONGRATULATIONS on winning the last race, on running the whole 18 and for your third place in the overall standings!
THANK YOU for sponsoring such a great event and also for updating the website and the series’ results!
So, did you win free shoes for the year this time? 🙂
I hope next year, I will be in better shape for the series.
I forgot Thank you also for posting women results separately… eh eh
