15 years ago: (April 2008) I was running well during this month and even thought I had a shot at winning the masters at the Merrimack river trail race. I started the month at the SEA race in Concord NH. Dan Verrington and I were hoping to pick up some cash in the CARS series and this one of the races. I battled back and forth with Scott Clark and very nearly caught Verrington in the last tenth. I took 5th in 16:44.7 with Dan a scant 7/10ths ahead of me. The following weekend I ran the “Rivah” 10 mile trail race and was picturing the banana bread I’d win for top master as Dan went flying by me at 7 miles and put a minute on me in those last three (62:49). I took 8th place overall in 63:52. My final race of the month (04/25/08) was the NHTI race (also part of the CARS). I again battle with Scott Clark, this time he beat me by 6 seconds as I took 5th place in 16:27, a 40+ personal best for me. Dan was top master in 15:51.
