Kicked of 36 mies of running in Boston at Midnight Thursday, so even though Garmin says this is a Friday run, still Thursday in my mid!

Staying at Westin Copley Square, Hedaed down Commonwealth, couple loops around the Gardens, over to the river with a couple bridge crossings, & then back up Commonwealth the Citgo sign, so I could run the last mile to the Fininsh line ... not too much traffic out at 1:30 am.  :)  

Easy pace of 9:45, just shaking out the legs after driving 7 hours!

At 4:30 pm I headed for the Newton Hills.  Parked near Cleveland Circle & ran 5 miles to Newton Fire Station & back - I ran this same section in December surprising myself with an 8:08 pace, so this would be a good fitness check.  In my excitement, and rushing around to get out there, I forgot my Garmin!  So, I quickly downloaded MapMyRun & was off at 5:05 ... I would be finishing in the dark ... but a nice sunny, brisk day.

Nice thing about using phone app, is I just hit start, put it in my pocket & ran on effort.  Very consistent splits, it was a hard effort, but did not feel like I was pushing as hard as I did in December.  Finished with a 7:54 avg pac, super excited, as that equates to a 3:27 marathon, & I have 6 more weeks to prepare.

At midnight I went out for a quick cool down run ... ended up with 9.9 miles ... parks, river, bridges, Fnish Line!
