35 Years ago – January 1984
I raced
three times during this month and ran 324 miles with two days off. I was having
a lot of trouble with my plantar fascia, an issue that would plague me for many
years. I kicked off the year with a long drive up to Colby College
where I ran the two mile. I never felt good during the race although
I was able to win running negative splits (faster in the second mile than the
first). My splits were 2:19/2:20/2:21/2:16 for a 9:16. A
week later I ran an open meet at BU, running a rare mile. I ran a PR
of 4:17.8 with splits of 64/66/64/63. I closed out the month at
UConn in a quad meet with UConn, Adelphi, and Manhattan. I ran an
even more unusual (for me) distance of 3,000 meters. I’ve only run
the 1.86 mile distance 13 times while I’ve raced 2 miles 92 times. I
took second place running a time of 8:28.
