Power outtage overnight bled into my run this morning. Made for a quiet and spooky dark run.

A chilly and dark run along the Charles River after a long 5-hour flight from Seattle to Boston. I'm here for a few days for a work-related conference. Who would have thought that in mid-November I would be going from cold seattle to warm boston.

Another enjoyable run along the Charles. This time I went down river toward the ocean. It's a little less runner friendly. I also ran up through the Bunker Hill area which me and my wife visited in 2006 when iu ran the Boston Marathon. Good to be back. Boston is my favorite East Coast town.

Final day of running in Boston. Another balmy late Fall day. 52 degrees and sunny. Quite windy but I wish i had brought a short sleeve shirt with me because I was toasty in the long sleeve. Ran again along the river but this time hit four colleges: MIT, Harvard, Boston University and Northeastern University. I swear Boston must have the most universities on the planet. I ran by Harvard's football stadium during the rivalry game. Pretty tame crowd. Nothing like Autzen Stadium during the Civil War.

Back to Seattle where it's cold and snowy.
