Vacation on Peak's Island, Maine with DL and Dusty.

Took a  short vacation to Peak's Island, Maine with DL and Dusty.

Ran a nice dozen or so miles at Mt Greylock with Dusty in a bit over 2-hrs.

• Cheshire Harbor Trail all the way to the Summit
• Overlook Trail
• Deer Run Trail
• CCC Dynamite Trail to Jones Nose
• Old Adams Road back to the Cheshire Harbor

I returned to the Soapstone Mountain Half-Marathon.  Another improvement over last year, this time I finished the 13.75-miles in 1:57:35.

Drove down to southern Connecticut to participate in the 1st Cockaponsett Jay Walk.  This was listed as a 6.4-mile trail race, and I finished in 47:48;  21st place.

The New England Trail Running season began again at 7 Sisters.

This 12-mile trail race on the Holyoke Range crushed me last year, but today I redeemed myself by running 2:34:23 and feeling much better doing it.  I could actually eat afterward.

Participated in the DH Jones 10-Mile Road Race in Amherst, finishing in 1:12:31.

Run - 1196 Miles

Beginning of a few days in Houston.

 Drove to San Antonio with DL, visited the Alamo, the River Walk, and Market Square.

 Flew to Dallas - Fort Worth with DL, to start a vacation.

Bay State Marathon
October 18, 1992 - Lowell, Massachusetts

Today I completed my first marathon, at the Baystate Marathon, in Lowell, Massachusetts.  I ran 3:35:00 for the 26.2-miles (two loops).  My folks drove out to see me finish, which was really cool.
