I'll keep running....
Because it gives me perspective.
Now I realize my problems aren't so big.
My life is pretty great afterall.
And a mile is a lot longer than it seems in the car.

Extended my usual loop from work over the Longfellow down the Esplanade and instead of heading over the Mass Ave bridge and back, I kept going down to the Western Ave. bridge. It wasn't too cold out but the wind was blowing so hard it was like training in a wind tunnel the whole time in my face...

Ms LBC - You will have to tell me where you will be as I will be back in Boston for my 10 running of the Boston 116th Marathon.

Awesome! Congrats! We do have a nice little race here in Boston, don't we? I start walking up Comm Ave from Center St. (just before the mile 20 marker) and walk up into Coolidge Corner and sometimes up to the finish area. It's a great day for runners and spectators...we love Marathon Monday in Boston!! Good luck!
