Chelmsford Alumni race – I’ve been fortunate enough to run the Chelmsford cross-country alumni meet a five times in the last seven years. Race director Keith O’Brien and I met in High School when we were on rival squads from Chelmsford and Billerica respectively. He puts on this fun event (17th annual) on the Friday after Thanksgiving and it is always a good time meeting up with old friends. I got in a nice warm-up with Dave and Danielle, plus a little extra on my own. The race is sometimes part group run part race and this year proved to be a somewhat easy run for 2 miles. I ran with Cooney, Beauchesne, and O’Brien as they chatted for the first 2 miles. Eric and Mike upped the tempo and O-bie and I quickly fell back. I think the top two sprinted for the line but there was no sprint where I was. Still, I was happy with how I felt running fairly easily at 6:43 pace over 3.2 miles. That was the fastest I’ve run since August!
