For the love of the run
I just finished up a nice three-mile jaunt through the South End and it was fabulous. It's sunny and 63 degrees, and it's Friday. What more could you ask for?
As you can guess, I've started running on my lunch break. This is only possible because I really don't sweat much, so I know it's not for everyone. But if you can get away with it, I highly recommend it. First, it breaks up the day, and after you finish, you reward yourself with tasty food. Second, by 2 p.m. I've usually forgotten that I ran already, and when I remember I am SO PSYCHED that I don't have to make time in the evening to do it. But the best reason why I love running at lunch is because it affords me the opportunity to explore Boston a little piece at a time. So far I've made my way through Beacon Hill, the Boston World Trade Center, the North End, Fanueil Hall, China Town, and now the South End. And all of these places could use more exploration. It's wonderful. Unlike the countryside where you are limited to a few select routes, in the city the possibilities are endless. Of course, on the down side you have traffic, stupid people, crosswalks, and buildings that create extreme wind tunnels. :)
Which reminds me - the last day to sign up for the Broad Street Run at $25 is today. So do it!
