20 Years ago - December 2002: I started the month out running the long leg (9.3 miles) at the Mill Cities Relay. This time I ran for the Rogue Runners (they had a cool Pirate Logo). I was happy with the result, running 54:10 which was the pace I’d aimed for. A week later I was back in Huntsville for my final time at the Rocket City Marathon. My goal was to run 6:00 pace and hopefully crack the top ten and earn a little cash. The trip was free as a former winner of the race, so I went to have some fun and hang out with CMS teammates Byrne Decker and Kevin Beck. I ended up meeting my goal as I moved up from 25th at half-way to finish 9th in 2:36:22. Byrne and Kevin both had good days taking 2nd and 4th in 2:22:48 and 2:27:31 respectively. My former U-Lowell teammate Dennis Simoniatis took the overall win in 2:22:02. Two weeks later I hit the snow and got a victory at the I love Woodford 3.5 mile snowshoe race. I somehow mustered a final sprint to hold off teammate Richard Bolt in 25:19.
