Day 11 - 4 miles

"I enter the world called real as one enters a mist." - Julien Green

Miles Ran: 25 Dollars Raised: $250

If it wasn't for all of the leaves on the ground and my stomach yearning for a big turkey dinner tomorrow, you might venture to think it's spring outside. The mist is one of those that would probably find it's way around your hat or umbrella and getchya anyway, so what's the use of trying to stop it.

I'm kind of happy I'm doing my shorter runs at home in West Springfield this week and my long run in Boston. I feel like, though it's nice to have a change of scenery, I'm always dreading having to plan out a really long, hilly route here. (I'm getting distracted as I type while I bounce along to Karen O and the Kids with songs from Where the Wild Things Are.) So it was nice to just do a 4 miler today along the route I used to run back in the days when I did not run...if that makes sense. Then on Saturday I think I'll try and do a run down where I used to live (and go for runs) by the water and Seaport District.

I also wanted to point out that I added a link to my "link section" on the right called Gmap Pedometer, which is what I usually use to plan out my runs. There's another site a lot of other runners use called Map My Run, but it's just personal preference. You can even add your weight in there to see how many calories you burn. Check it out!

Wow... 25 miles, the 25th of November, $250... Coincidence? I think not!
