Looking Back - December 2006

 

15 years ago (December 2006):  I ended up missing half the month (and on into 2007) with a stress fracture in my left hip.  I started the month (12/03/06) at the Mill Cities Relay.  I was on the long 9.4 mile leg for a co-ed 40+ team.  As such I started well back and had a lot of fun on a beautiful 40 degree and sunny day passing 25 teams while running a little under 6 minute pace for the distance.  We took 3rd in the mixed master and 23rd overall in a field of 142 teams. The following weekend (12/10/06) I took on the hilly Assault on Mt Hood XC 3.5 mile race. I managed to outkick teammate Rob Smith for 10th place.  My hip and back were killing me and I’d be sidelined starting the next day.
