Looking back - October 1987

 35 Years ago – 1987:  I only raced twice this month both times supporting my team (Greater Lowell Road Runners).  The first race was the Plymouth to Provincetown relay.  There were over 250 teams running that year.  I ran the “long” leg a rolling 14.2 miles from the Bourne Bridge.  There was only one split on the course (10 miles in 50:54) and I was 1:12:00 for the 14+ miles.  The following weekend I finished fourth in the NEAC (Now USATF NE) 8km road championships in Boston.  I called the course “hilly” but did manage to break 24 with a 23:50.  My splits were: 4:52/4:41/4:57/4:52/4:28(.96).
