Looking
back 30 years ago (July
1990): I logged weeks of 90, 90, 90, and 101
during this month. I only raced twice and paced Mike Beeman in another
race. I think I stayed away from racing due to ongoing ankle
issues. On July 15 1990 I met up with Mike B for the Raymond Old Home
Days race. It was hot and hum (90 degrees). Bruce Butterworth won
the race in 26:39 while Mike took 2nd place in 27:11 with me in
third one step behind him. The following weekend I ran the Carson
memorial race that was put on at Chelmsford High School. The 5m race
started at 9am and temps were already well into the 80s. I ended up
taking the win in 24:57 and after a very hot warm-down enjoyed going “over to Sully’s
after to stretch and eat ice cream”.

3 Jamie Fishman 26:15
4 Chris McDermot 26:15
5 Dave Hannon 27:05
I
finished the month with a GLRR 2 mile series race at Cawley stadium. It
was humid and 75 degrees as Eric Beachesne took the race out in 68 with me, Bob
Hodge and Mike Chamberas close behind. Eric took us through the mile in
4:36 before Mike took over with a 68 second lap. Then I took over and closed it
out with a 68, 69, and 66. Mike and I both ran 9:07 with me taking the
win and Hodgie was a tick back in third (9:08).
