I ran for the first time in April 2002. Here's one of my first races, the Powderhouse Pub 4 Miler. Check out the crowd of folks for a Sunday morning race. Love Boston.

| Think I look happy enough even after running all over the hills of Somerville MA? I still have that $12 Casio watch for runs. Thankfully, the Oakley sunglasses met their demise at the hands of an ex-girlfriend. |
Back then 6 miles was a long run for me. I'd race 2-3 5ks-10ks each weekend. Running has been one of the most positive impacts on my life and I'm thankful I found it.
Right behind the yellow lamp post is a guy in purple shorts who must've finished before you ;-)
ReplyDeleteThat guy was the Somerville irish stout drinking champion and could run a 14:05 5k.
ReplyDeleteI recall being fairly irked at seeing the guys who finished ahead of me at Mount Washington one year enjoying chewing tobacco.
