10 miles-boy are my feet sore!

The training is going well. Saturday we ran 10 miles. The course took us from Copley Square, through downtown crossing, over to South Boston, around "Castle Island and back. Castle Island was cool, but South Boston as a whole? Not so much. This is the place that has been called "up and coming" since we moved to MA almost seven years ago. At what point do you throw in the "up and coming" towel and just admit that you are not all that?

Actually, parts of South Boston are very nice. Like most shore towns in MA, the neighborhoods right by the water are lovely, and the areas leading into it are run down or industrial like this:

Next week we jump to 12 miles for some god forsaken reason. What happened to 11? I hear this one will be in Brookine which will make my stuck up heart feel much better!

Thank you to all who have donated. Remember, there is still time to enter the raffle!
