Training Log Archive: Becks

Ran down to Alewife to meet Rob - 400m on, 2 mins walk, 5 times. On isn't really on, and that's the best thing for me right now. Humidity has cleared quite a bit and it was almost pleasant this afternoon.

Alewife is totally gross to look at but as we walk, run, or bike towards it it feels very Scandinavian, with the bike routes that people actually use and the integrated T stop. I really like it more than I should. The only difference is that there's not enough buses. Boston seems to be caught in this horrible mess where the buses aren't frequent enough so too many people drive and then the traffic is bad so buses aren't that great anyway...so why walk to a bus stop and wait when you can sit and go nowhere in your own car?

I should be moving here properly on 10th July. 90% confident of that! In the meantime, I'm going to go back to New Haven and stay there over the next weekend.

Yesterday we accidentally drove up a hill in Maine instead of walking up it (thanks google), so I thought I had better do something today. Ran down to Whole Foods to maximise breakfast experience.

Running before work in Edgewood Park. Westville is spoiled for running options, but not for much else now Delaney's is well and truly dust.

This Freeletics was mostly running, and thus a bit pointless. And then my watch died.

It was Midsummer so I had to run up a hill. Up to the top of West Rock, where I could see three separate super localised rain showers, and smell honeysuckle. It was pretty fab.

Freeletics below West Rock. No groundhogs this time, which was pretty disappointing all told.
