Thursday/Friday in Hope

 Maine will always be my home and this area is where I grew up. It’s the place I always visited when I was in distress or needed comfort. Through my divorce and depression— legal battles— the Camden area has been a place of physical and emotional protection. In my recent years I love coming here to get away from the bustle of Long Island. I did my new loop that I started this summer going to the end of the pastor’s road and back and then I do the Barnestown Loop up to the top of Howe Hill(the woodpile) and back to my parents. It was great not being rushed even though I have a very mild cold. Here are my stats: Thursday- 8.66 miles in 2:22:06 for a 16:25 minute per mile pace with an average heart rate of 83 bpm with an elevation gain of 532 feet at an average cadence of 126 spm at around 45 degrees. Friday: 8.66 miles in 2:22:54 for a 16:30 minute per mile pace with an average heart rate of 83 bpm at an elevation gain of 502 feet at an average cadence of 126 spm. Thankfully I can also do my an and strength work here at my parents. Today we went to Port Clyde and Boothbay Harbor with Ryleigh. We saw the star in Camden which sits atop Mt. Batty. Thank you Lord for these good days. I’m sitting here with my beautiful wife, Ryleigh and my mom and dad. God bless you all!
