First week of training in the books!

Well I started off big!
At 38.5 miles, this was my biggest week of mileage since starting running again about a year ago.
The majority of this weeks miles were by myself, but I did get in two group runs.

On saturday the 20th, I met and ran with the Alzheimer's team for the first time.
It was really great to see that I am capable of keeping up with those guys. (for the most part).
It was also very cool to run on Memorial drive in Boston. I'm always so envious when I see all of the runners out running along the river when I'm driving in to work!

I forgot to bring my camera, but I'll be sure to get some photos on future training runs with this group.

On sunday I ran with the "Soup Group"

A few members of the Soup Group!

This was a nice and easy run (6.7 miles, but very slow). These runs are alway great!
They are lead by my friend Joe Hamm who I met earlier this year. Joe is also the guy who convinced me to do the Lowell Half Marathon.

Of course the real selling point to this run is that every week, someone makes a big ol' crock pot of soup. Its a nice way to warm up from the cold winter runs.

The Payoff!
