15 years ago September 2005 -Not a bad
month with 300 miles and five races including three races in 24 hours. I
started the month (09/13/05) with the Governor Dummer XC invitational.
The coach was also a Winners Circle Running Club member and they would kick off
the season racing against WCRC. I ran with Mick Grant for the first 3k
then moved up into 2nd place (the winner was out of sight) and ended
up taking second in 17:56. A few days later (09/16 & 09/17) I hooked
up with the “Loco Banditos” for the Reach the Beach relay. Teams
of 12 alternated over the nearly 200 mile race. I had a LONG wait to run
my first leg as I was the 12th man. My first run was a 4 mile
(24:29) at 10pm. Next up was a hilly 6.9 mile (41:48) at 7am. My
final leg was the last 4.95 miles (definitely not accurate as I ran 24:29) at
2pm. A week later (09/24/05) I ran my 40+ PR at the Eliot Festival 5km
in Eliot ME. Conditions were perfect and the field was full of fast
people. I finished 35th running a 16:28.5.
10 years ago September 2010 – I got in 347
miles during this month but only raced twice. I took ninth (2nd
40+) at the Pemi Youth 5k (17:40) in Plymouth NH on 09/04. A few
days later (09/08/10) I finished in 6th place and took tops in the
masters at the Boston Scientific 5k in Oranmore Ireland running a 17:04.
