run, run, run

Boston, MA 6:00 am

Pace: 8:30

I got in after midnight last night, but knew I had work to do this evening, so I dragged my tired butt out of bed and went running. It was worth it. I ran across Boston Common to the Charles River and then crossed at Mass. Ave, up to River Street in Cambridge, back across the river and back to the hotel. Weather was great. Got passed by a rowing team on the river -- so they really do that. I thought it was only in the movies.

Boston, MA 6:00 am

Pace: slow

Pouring rain, but like and idiot, I went out and ran anyway. I went around the perimeter of downtown, mainly staying near the waterfront so I wouldn't get lost. And I didn't, until I got back near the hotel. I decided to take a quick lap around Boston Common to get another mile in and somehow got lost and couldn't figure out which corner my street was on. I had to ask a hotel doorman.

Boston, MA 6:00 am

It was raining when I started out and kind of cold because I wore shorts, but I got comfortable pretty soon. I ran along both sides of the Charles River and only got really cold when I was crossing the bridge.

 Stopped by the Bill Rodger's Running Center last night. Charlie Rodgers was working and showed me around. Lots of old memorabilia and photos on the walls. That was really cool.

Bountiful, UT 7:30 am

Didn't run yesterday. I was traveling all day, had no chance.

I woke up this morning and put on shorts and two shirts and expected to go out and run. Then I decided to turn on the computer to check the weather. To my surprise I saw a snowflake icon on the weather report. So I looked outside and saw it coming down. I hadn't even brought my warm top, so I put on another shirt and my running pants and headed out. I went up the hill to Bountiful Blvd., ran to the temple and turned around and back down the hill. I'm still thinking about doing Robie, so I the hill was good to train on and to realize that I'm in a lot of trouble if I don't get a few more hill workouts in.

It was pretty out there though.
