nice job Steve! I would have run back with you if I knew you were adding 'secret miliage'...laugh! It was fun to share miles, humor. Talking about extra miliage I'm pretty sure I could have run back to Hopkinton at the pace I was running, which takes me to my hope to run in the Comrades Ultra in South Africa someday. Happy 2008

: I joined up with Gary at Newton Centre, or
: rather, started running there around the 20
: mile mark and he caught up with me at the
: top of the hill - I'd estimated where he
: might catch up after seeing him while
: driving in. My plodder pace for the final 6
: probably kept him from being closer to 3
: hrs; still a bit faster than my usual
: training pace.
:
: I've been over those roads for years at all
: hours and don't think I've ever seen them
: that empty. Lots of chat about the course
: and the sites we were passing. We hit the
: finish and then spent some time chatting
: over some (non alcoholic) beveridges,
: watching the steady stream of folks
: beginning their year with Starbucks but
: without the run beforehand.
:
: Of course, the decent run and good chatter
: built enthusiasm which led me to question my
: man... er, runnerhood. So instead of taking
: the T all the way back to my car, I ran 4
: miles worth which gave me an even 10 for the
: day. Crossed paths with local runner Bob
: Gamere just past Fenway Park, who noted that
: the two biggest running days in the year are
: Thanksgiving and New Years (with all the
: resolutions), but I didn't see that many
: more runners than usual.
:
: Next year I'll try to be ready to rendezvous
: at the firehouse (well, maybe Newton City
: Hall). But first, I just might get my first
: 50 mile week in over a year with just a pair
: of average mile days to close the week.
