Meagan and I met up with Jenn, Justin, Carly, Emily and a few others out at Fiske Hill. We planned to do our long run on the crushed gravel path with a slight detour near the Great Meadow. The last time we were out here the meadow was flooded and we had to sprint through standing water in hopes of not getting our feet wet. Justin found a route that would be the same distance and bring us into Concord. In the summer, I can see us making a longer run by running the Great Meadow Loop and then heading into Concord which would probably be around 30km total.

I never felt great on this run and the legs were a bit banged up from yesterday's track workout. Aerobically I felt good, but the last 5km or so I was wishing to be done.

Meagan and I met up with some friends for a St. Paddy's Day long run along Battle Road. We were greeted by Jenn Lutz (formerly Donovan) handing us four leaf clover stickers in the parking lot. The pace was generally pretty easy starting out and never got too out of control. Running around the Great Meadow was the most interesting as two sections were completely washed out and we were forced to sprint across getting the shoes and socks wet. It made for a bit of fun and kept the laughs going. Justin and I added on a little bit around Fiske Hill to extend the overall distance before calling it a day.
