Note
Schlepped 55 pounds of groceries, which is allegedly ~60 additional calories than walking the same distance.
I should check this math.

Run warm up/down 14:45 [2]
shoes: February 2008 Asics
A real easy job over the the area of Commonwealth Ave / Grant Ave intersection in Newton. The original intention was to do hills with the CSU running crowd, but after 1:05 on the infernal Green Line (whereas I had only budgeted 40 in a fit of naivety) I did not expect to find anyone.
In fact, I almost was prepared to chalk this up as a rest day because I was meeting Dasha at the Sunset Grill at 8.
Anyway, I thought it might be interesting to see where they were running, and as I arrived on the scene, I saw the guys doing some hills. And so I went over.
The workout was a long hill and a short hill (2 minutes/1 minute) in a set, times 4.
SGB and Terry were there, and I decided to join in. I think I missed the first set and was a bit lackadaisical. It felt like a 3+ effort for the first couple, and maybe 4 at the end.
The good thing is that I have more parity with Terry on hills, although if I got ahead of him in the beginning, he would often come back in the last 30 seconds of a long one, and finish 1-2 seconds ahead. And SGB was a few more seconds ahead.
Still, it was a better workout than A) none, and B) a jog, so I'll take it. I love hills.
I also borrowed Dasha's backpack to carry my clothes as my sternum strap is gone. It generally worked OK, but no backpack is better.

The hills part of the workout.
Actually, a pretty nice stretch to run on. Not super steep, but pretty soft, even footing.

Run warm up/down 36:00 [2]
shoes: February 2008 Asics
From the hills, over past BC, and out to the area of the Sunset Grill.
I actually got a little lost, missing the turn on Commonwealth Ave. (there are more train tracks than I expected, and I can't see well at night without my glasses.)
So, I had to pull out GMaps and I was good to go.
