Met our Track Club's Boston Marathon Training Group south of the city for a nice hill run.  The group was planning for 13 and tacked on 3 at the end.  It was pretty chilly to start but warmed up nicely.  Started out a little slower around 8:30 miles for the first 8 miles or so but we sped up and ended running at around 8.  I did the last 3 around 7:30s for a nice progression run.  Averaged 8:15 overall with about 1000 feet of climbing.  Not too bad
