30 Years ago – 1992: I raced twice and “ran through” a marathon and half-marathon over the course of the month. I started the month at the Applefest ½ marathon. I was feeling sick prior to the race and almost dropped out. I hit the predominantly downhill 10km split in 30:15 and thought “no way am I dropping out now”. I continued on to a course record 1:06:07 and went right through the chute and right into the nearest porta-john. Two days later I was down in Newport RI running through the Newport ½ marathon which was part of the Hockomock Swamp Rat series. I ended up finishing in 7th place running 1:17:05. Five days later I raced on the roads of Londonderry at the famous Mack’s Apple run. I took home some cash patiently waiting until four miles then pushing the pace to a win in 24:48. The next day I ran the Baystate Marathon as a workout taking 13th place in 2:52:18. I ran a personal record 509 miles over the month.
