Eastport- Hope - Ridge

 I was busy with life so to speak so I didn’t make blogging my priority.

Thursday ( Rt. 190 Eastport/Sipayik)-  8.25 miles in 2:02:02 for a 14:47 minute per mile pace with an average heart rate of 162 bpm with an elevation gain of 285 feet with an average cadence of 132 spm at a very comfortable 58 degrees. Plus Shackford’s head out and back - 1.4 miles in 29:10 for a 20:47 minute per mile pace with an average heart rate of 77 bpm with an elevation gain of 161 feet with an average cadence of 103 spm at 66 degrees.

Friday ( Hope- 2 x Loop plus out and back 3 x on the pastor’s road until the bend in the road- half mile out and half mile back)- 9.26 miles in 2:18:30 for an average pace of 14:57 mpm with an average heart rate of 162 bpm with an elevation gain of 672 feet with an average cadence of 131 spm at 67 degrees. 

Monday ( 3 x Woodlot) on a rainy day. 9.18 miles in 2;29:58 for a 16:20 minute per mile pace with an average heart rate of 152 bpm with an elevation gain of 284 feet with an average cadence of 125 spm at 70 degrees. My left knee was a little tender today.

I truly enjoyed my visit to Maine. I still long for my home state. I try to see the positives in every situation and I do see some of the positives in Ling Island— but my heart always will be in Maine. Loved getting out early in Eastport. Probably my most enjoyable workouts of the year. Really enjoyed taking Katie to work and seeing Kim and Oliver. Love my wife and family! God is good!!
