August of 2004 & 2014


15 years ago (August 2004): I only raced twice this month due to lingering hamstring issues.  On 08/16 Richard Bolt and I ran the Moose Milers trail series in Mine Falls park (Nashua NH).  Richard won in 17:54 with me 1 second back.  Two weeks later I ran a leg of the Moose Milers relay a 4x2.5 mile race in Mine falls park.  I was the weak man on the CMS squad that took first place in 54:04.  I was the leadoff leg which I ran in 14:20.

5 years ago (2014): Again, I only raced twice as I was also recovering from injury.  I did an unplanned leg of the Moose on the loose relay when the DRC came up one person short.  I anchored the team running 15:55 for the 2.5 mile trail loop.  Two weeks later I ran my first real race taking 8th place in the 50-54 at the USATF NE 15k championships in Burlington VT running a 56:57.
