Thursday/Friday: Boston Running

6/7/2013

0 Comments

 
We arrived home late last night from a three-day field trip to Boston with my wife's 6th grade class. It was a rousing success, both from Meg's perspective and mine: Finn loved the city and got to spend some quality time with my mom, and I got to run twice and see the Red Sox walk off against their 2013 nemesis, the Texas Rangers.

Thursday: 8 miles, with 7mi at MP. I ran on the "banks of the River Charles" (love that dirty water) for the first time in my life. The Boston side was nice and uninterrupted, but I wasn't too fond of trying to figure out how to access the bridge crossings or having to stop for intersections on the Cambridge side. I had a lot of pent up energy and the stop/start nature of the running made it easy to get caught up in a fast pace.

Friday: 6 miles, pushing Finn's city stroller (not the jogger) in the pouring rain with jeans, cotton shirt and jacket on, after only 4 hours of sleep the night before (and 14 in three nights). At least I had my running shoes! This was not the most traditional of runs, but walking 3 miles each way from the Common to Harvard Square in Cambridge wasn't going to be fun in the rain, so I decided I may as well get a run in. It was a blast.

Total Miles: 14mi (in two runs)
Weekly So Far: 28.5mi
