Sept 29, 1996 (meant to post this yesterday)

20 years ago today (09-29-96):  Then CMS teammate Craig Fram and I had a good battle at the USATF NE ½ marathon championships.  Newport RI hosted the race which had 719 finishers on a 60 degree day featuring drizzle and rain.  I stayed in back of the lead pack until just after 7, then made my move.  Craig Fram and David Marcus stayed with me.  We dropped Marcus and then I was able to gap Craig with a little over ½ mile to go.  This was the 6^th of 7 races in the Grand Prix and Craig and I were then separated by 1 point (Craig 42, Me 41) with only the Cape Cod marathon remaining.
