45 years ago – April 1979: I ran 127 miles and took 7 days off
during the first full month of outdoor track during my freshman year at Billerica High School.
I raced six times, mostly in dual-meet races. I started the month with a
third place 2 mile versus Central Catholic (11:47). Five days later I
lowered my PR by nearly a minute running a 10:50.4 and placed fourth in a meet
against Dracut on our home track at the Marshall Middle school. Two days
later I ran a 11:00 2-mile against Tewksbury and followed that up a week later
with a 10:58 versus Wilmington. After that I ran a 2:25 for a half-mile
leg in the Class Relays. I closed out the month with an uninspired 11:18
2-mile in a dual meet against Andover. In all I scored 14 points towards
my letter. I’m not sure how many points you needed but I ended up getting
the outdoor track letter (a large green “B”).
