Capitol Race #4 took us to Concord, NH for Race #22 on The SmoothToe New England Marathon...One Mile At A Time. I went to a summer program back in my junior year in high school at St. Paul's School, then did an internship there in the summer of my junior year at college - so I have spent a little time in New Hampshire's state capital. This trip brought back many memories.



It was a hot day, but by 7:00 it began to cool down. I ran a 4:37.65 with the lead car being driven by fellow classmate at St. Paul's and Bowdoin - Jim Farrelly. Jim was the lead driver at the Loudon Motor Speedway at race #16 - so he had the hang of things. We needed Jim and Charlie's protection on this evening as a late start had darkness falling on us quickly. In this video, you can see that the car lights were on already. In the last quarter mile, I also had the chance to run through my first tunnel on the tour...



After the race in Concord, Sekyen and I had a wonderful night visiting with our friends, Jim and Shannon Farrelly. Now it is onto the Derby Mile in Salem, MA www.salempd.org  where I ran a 4:56 mile last year on my 20/20/20<5@45 tour. It is a challenging course and I look forward to racing again in Salem, MA for Race #24!
