This morning I headed into Brookline to meet up with a crew of BAA members. I arrived to find roughly 50 individuals standing around in the parking lot ready to run. It felt colder than the 34 the car thermometer stated. I couldn't complain too much as others were in shorts and lightweight pullovers.
I wasn't sure how far I was going to run, but I opted to head off with Brian Harvey, Tim Ritchie, Ian Nurse and Eric Ashe. Given my current fitness, I was hesitant to commit to the full run and just wanted to see how I would handle a quicker long run pace. We dipped under 4:00/km by the fourth kilometer and gradually got faster. It has been many months since starting a run at the pace, but I was relatively relaxed until decided to pull off around the 8-9 km mark with Eric.
We headed back along the Boston Marathon course up the Newton Hills. The pace fluctuated given the terrain and I found myself having a solid run. It would have been nice to run longer and go with the top guys, but given my recent training, I'll take it.

Still can't even read 'Newton Hills' without getting a little dizzy and nauseous. But glad to see you back blogging - 'bout time.
