30 years ago (Feb. 1995): The first two weekends of the month Byrne Decker and I headed out to 5 mile races and did them as workout (tied in both). We ran 26:45 to take the Freeze your buns race and 25:17 for the CMS heart run in Worcester. Then in a classic blunder Byrne and I warmed up for the Border to Border 20m an hour earlier than we were supposed to. We didn’t realize that the start was at 11 (instead of 10) until 9:50. We sat around for a half-hour then warmed up again, great way to get ready for a 20 mile race! I wasn’t concerned as it was just a work-out for me, I ran through with Byrne who was preparing for the Boston marathon (I was training for the Marathon world cup which would be held in Athens). I ended up finishing 9th in 1:58:26 and then we finished out the month with another tie, this time a 15:28 5km at the Penacook winter challenge.
