run, run, run

Boston, MA 6:00am

I ran down the Charles River, took a loop around Harvard Stadium and back the other side of the river. It was a wet morning. Not raining bad though. The stadium was really cool. There were a few guys running stairs. I thought about it, but had to get back.

Boston, MA 6:00 am

I ran along the beach in the pouring rain this morning. I ran through UMass-Boston then up the beach and back through South Boston. I wasn't cold, just very, very wet the whole way. I ran pretty slow, but it is hard to keep up a good pace in this weather.

It was a mostly uneventful run except when I was running near the water I heard something hit the ground really close to me. It scared me silly and I thought someone was throwing rocks at me, but it was a seagull dropping oysters or mussels, some kind of shellfish, on the sidewalk to break them open and eat them. Or, maybe he was trying to kill me.

Boston, MA 5:30 am

A good workout. I ran over to Harvard Stadium and ran stairs for a while before heading back. By the time I was done my legs were trashed. Rain finally stopped and the skies are clearing. Going to be a nice weekend.

Boston, MA 6:15 am

I woke up yesterday and just didn't have it. So I slept in and decided to get up today. I'm at a different hotel, so I went over to South Boston and along the beach. A pretty uneventful run except that technology failed me. My Garmin wouldn't turn on and I couldn't find my headphones for the iPod. But it's all about the run, so it was still good.
