BFG Rave Runs: Boston MA

No, no, not the Boston Marathon!! Not a chance. Just part of the US woman Olympic trial route, that's all. Continue reading if you are curious...

Oct 12, 2007
Easy 12k run in lovely fall weather of Boston. The last time I was here was 2006, but earlier in the fall (Sept), when NJ showed me the Charles River route. So these runs were along familiar territory.

Started on Memorial Drive due west, Crossed Charles River at River St bridge (5k), back along Storrow Dr towards Beacon Hill. Crossed over along Charles River Goodfellow Bridge. Went up to MIT Massuchetts Ave.


Oct 13, 2007:
11k tempo run. Same route as yesterday, except the last k along Memorial Drive.
Very cold morning. Temp 41 deg F, hands got very numb. But wonderful day, bright sunshine, and beautiful view of Boston and Charles River.

Didn't feel tired even though I ran at below 6 mpk for 4-5 km.
Running Index (RI): 48 (highest so far!)

RI: 49 (higher than yesterday!)
