Tell us how your summer training went?

My summer training went really well this year. I was able to put on a lot of mileage as well as do a lot of cross-training.

I would like to make New Englands and possibly break 16.

What is your favorite course to run in Maine?

My favorite course to run in Maine is either Belfast or Cony.

New Balance Minimus

Facebook, but I’m not a huge social media person.

Currently its a toss up between Criminal by Framing Hanley or Oak Island by Our Last Night.
