BRCabout. Run out around the lake. Brooks School we'll pass on by – on the right, there. One mile more, then on Great Pond you'll see it through. Up the hills past Country Club, a lovely view. To the Common, then we're done. You'll see – We'll run there with you Lake Loop (7.4): https://www.mapmyrun.com/routes/fullscreen/1152871564/ ...
We’re Having a Heat Wave. This is not my favorite kind of weather for running, but just like every year, we must deal with it eventually. The best part of this time of year is that we get the longest day of the year in a few days. (OK, they’re ALL 24 hours, so keep ...
Nothing to see here. I’ve got nothing of interest to write about today. Low motivation this week. Trying to keep running, though. I took a long break from real miles (at least real for me), and now I’m trying to build it back up. I know some of you may be in the same boat, ...
