Easter Sunday jaunt (7.35mi)
I was pleasantly surprised by the fact that my legs weren't completely run down on Saturday, after the long run from the day before, but I took the day off anyway and waited till Sunday to get back out there. I actually felt pretty strong on Sunday when I did tho, and was able to sustain a very nice pace throughout my run, without too much effort. I had set out thinking I'd keep it a bit short closer to 5mi or so, but when I got going and realized I felt pretty good and the weather was actually quite nice, I decided to take advantage and alter my route slightly adding in a little bit of distance. That's one really nice thing about running around the Charles river, is that you can easily adjust your route on the fly pretty much as needed, within a mile or two anyway, and still not really change your environment all that much. It didn't quite yet have that warm weather summer time feeling, but you could definitely tell that it's really getting close now, so it was a nice change of pace. I felt really relaxed and comfortable throughout the run and in hindsight I guess it just wound up being one of those days were things were just working.

I am jealous Dennis, there is such fantastic running by the Charles River, I actually went to college in Boston and, after college before starting grad school when I had my "transition job", where I started running. It began in earnest on treadmills, but once spring hit, I became forever enchanted with the Charles River. The 4.2 mile course from the JFK St. bridge to Arsenal St. holds a special place in my heart...Keep up the good work, we're all addicted and rooting for you all the way!
