So, a teammate from my U14 soccer team saw a post I made on the Capital City 10 miler site, reached out & we met up for a run along the river & ate lunch at Dukes.  Wind was brutal and numbing on our face, so we immediately headed for the alleyways to Italian Lake   A solid 3 mile tempo run at a 8:00 min pace into the wind, we headed back on the river with the wind at our backs.  So great to reconnect with a friend from 35 years ago ... the plan is to train together on Thursdays.

That is a great story. You are getting lots of good running vibes lately. Lining up for a great Boston run.

Wind runs are TOUGH when you are fighting it. Good to hear you reconnected with an old friend!
