Looking back: Feb 2006

 15 Years ago – I was coming off of a 1.5 degree calf strain during February of 2006.  I ended up missing 6 days and slowly eased back into running and racing.  I ran the Frosty’s Dash 5k snowshoe race (02/12/06) running easy on the uphills and quicker on the flats and downs.  I managed a 6th place finish in a field of 49 with the race being held during a blizzard that would end up dropping over 18 inches of snow.  The following weekend (02/18/06) I was feeling a lot better and tested myself at the Fudgesicle 5k series.  I ended up taking second place running 17:52 to Dan Verrington’s winning (and impressive) 16:45.  I finished the month (02/25/06) back at the Fudgesicle and Dan chose to run with me for the first half-mile before taking off for the win (17:14) and I again took 2nd place this time in 17:49.
