Looking back - April 2007

15 years ago (April 2007) - I raced four times this month, three 5k’s and a 10 mile trail race.  I started the month with the SEA 5k in Concord NH.  I latched onto Craig Fram (doing a workout) and Scott Clark and they dragged me to a 7th place in a fast 16:45.  Dan Verrington was top 40+ in 16:32.  The following weekend I ran the Merrimack River trail race (04/14/07).  Paul Low ran an excellent 57:44 tow win and Dan held me off to win the 40+ in 63:10.  I placed 6th overall in 63:47.  I raced twice on the final weekend with a 16:52 at the Friday night NHTI 5k race getting the best of Scotty Clark (16:54) but nuked by Dan who won in 16:23.  Two days later I picked up a rare victory at the Cool Kids 5k in my hometown of Billerica.  I had to weave my way through over 200 walkers who started out ahead of the 44 runners but managed a 17:19 for the win.
