1st day on part of the marathon course!

Today I met the Alzheimer's team for my first venture out onto part of the Marathon course. We ran from the association lot in the Arsenal on the Charles to Comm Ave by BC and then out in Newton on Comm Ave. It was 5 miles to run just a little past the John Kelly statue on Comm Ave - and then did the other 5 back. It was actually pretty warm once we got going, but on the way back the wind really picked up! At first I was pretty happy with my time - but on the way back was my first time battling the hills - it's tough and slowed me down quite a bit, but was definitely good practice! I'm not too sore yet either! Looking forward to getting back on the course next weekend! :) Tomorrow my mom's going to come with me to try NH Power Yoga - it's Vinyasa yoga, but should be a good day off from the running. more to come...
