Tuesday evening run.

It was kinda warm out, but I was feeling lazy and decided to get the hell out of here.  Actually, it was warm, but there's a pleasant breeze that I liked the sound of.

Anyway, nothing crazy.  I ran down to Porter and back home for a stunning 2.1 miles.  I picked up the pace in the second mile, which was nice, but I'm (unfortunately) a bit out of shape for this sorta thing.  Here's the route:

Wednesday Ocean Grove Run!

So I went for a run along the beach at Ocean Grove.  It turned out to be a bit farther than I expected.  I think, in total, I ran about 2.5 miles (that link out and back) with a bit of a walk in the middle up near the north end.  It was wicked hot out, so the parts of the run that were a bit further away from the water were pretty blazingly warm.

Here's a map.

Warm weather morning run

I woke up this morning to discover that it was approximately 55 degrees outside, and decided that made it too nice of a day not to head out for a run.  I find the barrier to entry in a morning run is much lower if I don't have to bundle up in four million layers before I do it.

Anyway, not the longest run in the world, as I'm out of practice, but I went down out of Porter on Mass Ave., looped around Cambridge Common (the park, not the bar), and back up through the neighborhood.  It totaled about 2.6 miles.  Here's the map:

Monday morning run.

Went for a run this morning for the first time in a while.  It was cold, I was in new shoes, and I'm out of practice, so I went easy on myself.  I went from Porter down to the corner of JFK Park at JFK and Memorial, and then walked myself home.  In total, that's 1.9 miles of runnin', and a total of 3.8 miles of actual movement.

It wasn't so bad out, all told.  My thermometer told me it was mid twenties out.  I didn't bother to bring gloves and just kept my hands in my base layer's pleasantly long sleeves until I warmed up.  All in all, not bad.  I'd prefer to keep it up, though I'm not sure about these new shoes.  Can't decide if they bug me, or if I'm just out of practice.

Here's the map:

Thursday run

Went for a short run this morning around Davis/Porter.  Wasn't really feeling in a groove, but am glad I got out anyway.  Run was approximately 2.8 miles, with a short walk through Porter in the middle somewhere.

The route looked like this:

Wednesday run.

Went for a run on Wednesday morning.  Worked out somewhat better than Monday's run, and totaled about 3.5 miles of actual runningness.  Here's the route:

Monday morning run.

Went for a run on Monday morning.  It was perfect out - a delightful temperature.  Probably about 55 degrees.  I ran down Raymond/Garden to Harvard Sq, turned around at JFK park, and ran back up Mass Ave to Porter.  Got a wicked stomach cramp on the way, which I proudly ran through.

Total was about 3.25 miles of running, 3.7 miles total.  Here's the route:

Beautiful, short run.

It's beautiful out - just barely 70 degrees, and feels cooler.  Somewhat windy.  I went out at around 11:00 AM or so and ran down to Harvard through the back streets, out to the river, and back towards the Elliot St. bridge.  Once there, I was kinda worn out (late night?), and started walking.  That's about a 2.7 mile run.

I then walked myself back home, for a total distance of about 4.4 miles.  Here's the map:

Sunday morning run

Ran around 3.7 miles in New Haven this morning.  It was a wet, humid sorta day, but with a nice, cool breeze.  I started out from my brother's place on Canner St., ran downtown on Orange St., and then came back up on Whitney Ave.  It's been a while; the run was more difficult than expected - or rather, I felt like I had run farther than actually had.  I thought it was about 5 miles.

Here's the map:

Thursday evening run/walk

Went for my first run in a while on Thursday.  This post is backdated from Sunday morning.  Made it from Richdale down to JFK Park, approximiately 1.7 miles, booking a bit more than I should have, and ended up moseying my way back home after stopping in the park.  It was a fairly warm day.

Here's the map.  The running bit stopped a smidge before that 2 mile marker, at the corner there in the park:

Thursday's pre-oil-change run.

Went for a run around Fresh Pond this morning.  It was a pleasant temperature, if a bit humid, and (unlike yesterday) I didn't feel the need to stop.

On the down side, I misjudged my mileage, and ended up running about 4.5 miles, rather than the 5+ I was hoping for.  It's not as far over to Fresh Pond as I thought.  Bummer!  But that's okay, I was in a bit of a rush this morning, as I needed to take my car into the shop for an oil change and check-up.

Here's the map of the run:

Wednesday morning run

This morning's run was a respectable, yet weary, 3.2 miles.  Given that we just did 4.something last night, this doesn't surprise me too much.  Anyway, it was great to be up and about.  We started out from Julia's and did a nice river run:

Had a 1 mile bike ride on either end of the run to get to/from Julia's.
