Looking back - January 1984 (40 years ago)
I raced three times during this month and ran
324 miles with two days off. I was having a lot of trouble with my plantar
fascia, an issue that would plague me for many years. I kicked off
the year with a long drive up to Colby College where I ran the two
mile. I never felt good during the race although I was able to win
running negative splits (faster in the second mile than the
first). My splits were 2:19/2:20/2:21/2:16 for a 9:16. A
week later I ran an open meet at BU, running a rare mile. I
ran a PR of 4:17.8 with splits of 64/66/64/63. I closed out the
month at UConn in a quad meet with UConn, Adelphi, and
Manhattan. I ran an even more unusual (for me) distance of 3,000
meters. I’ve only run the 1.86 mile distance 18 times while I’ve raced
2 miles 95 times. I took second place running a time of 8:28.
