Looking back: October 2005

 15 years ago (Oct. 2005): I only raced twice this month ending up with a stress fracture in my right fibula that sidelined me for 6 weeks.  I started the month (10/02/05) at the Syracuse Festival of Flowers 5k.  I just missed my masters (40+ age group) personal best with a 16:34 which was good enough for 3rd place (31st overall).  Teammate Eric Morse took second place with a 15:18.

 

40+ Results
1 Steve Boyd (CAN)          15:00
2 Eric Morse (VT) 15:18
3 Dave Dunham (MA)       16:36
4 Jim Fiore (NY)               16:40
 

The following weekend (10/08/05) I struggled through the Jennifer’s Run in Lowell MA.  My leg felt terrible and was bad enough that I couldn’t do a warm-down.  I finished in 5th place in 17:24.

 The highlight of the month was getting inducted into the Billerica Memorial High School Athletic Hall of Fame.
