3.2 by the reservoir. Back here after a long time! There’s something here that oozes with positivity. Always so refreshing!
A coffee date (read breakfast) at the Broken Grounds Cafe. Pretty tiny place with a small seating area. Food was pretty good and seemed to have quite a few vegan options. The house coffee I had was a bit on the bitter side. Should have checked before ordering. Highly likely we won’t be revisiting but definitely worth stopping by once…
Wine is pleasure and conviviality, it is culture and it makes food taste better. But wine can also be intimidating. This guide takes the anxiety out of shopping, buying and drinking wine. Source: How to Drink Wine

4.5 miles. Regular VFW stretch. Sleet and windy…
2.5 miles from Walnut Grill. Met Prerna for dinner.
6 mi from Down under. Splitting headache. Totally not fun!
One of those weekends when you’re dead tired and relaxed at the same time. What was to be a low-key no activity weekend; turned out to be packed with a ton of impromptu events. Saturday was probably our most ’touristic’ day so far in Boston. Miss Me bought a couple of Groupon passes to the Mapparium some days back. On Friday we realised those were expiring soon and decided to head there this weekend. Two other places - The USS Constitution and the Bunker Hill monument have been on our list for quite sometime now. So Miss Me packaged these all together and chalked out a quick plan early on Saturday morning. ...
8 mi , VFW loop. Legs still sore from last weekend!
Arnold Arboretum and back. 12 miles in total in mild rain and sub 30F temps. Getting back to this after a while now. Feels so good!
300 steps to the top! True fun!
Miled about 16. To Harvard and back, well almost. Driving earlier in the day today Miss Me and I scouted another route for me to run. Head toward newton street, then instead of turning to the right towards south street head straight up beyond Putnam circle onto VFW parkway. Bordered Allandale woods and decided to head towards the Yoga studio in Brookline. Legs felt pretty good and weather was cold and crisp with a light drizzle. Decided to go further on and hit the Boston University bridge. Boston looked so pretty tonight from Cambridge. Ran further upto Harvard and finally decided to turn around. Called Miss Me and asked for a pick up at her Studio. ...
2mi to the optometrist, contact ‘fittings’ and then 4mi back home via the ‘short-cut’. Listened to the Outside podcast on Joe Stone’s crash while speed flying. Spring is in and so is the warm weather. So gonna miss the freezing runs.

A long drive after a long time followed by the laziest productive weekend so far. Early morning soccer talk walks, IKEA mending, pedicure with the family, new restaurant digs, some tech geeking and a lot of down time on the couch. Took the scenic driveway to Penn and 76N to cut into NJ instead of the regular 95N. Looking forward to getting back to building mileage for Wapack and Back this week! ...

6 miles on the VFW loop. Good to be back on the roads. Never thought rest would be so painful. Should probably ease back in to the schedule and get some longer miles over the weekend.
Southbound after a long time! Long drive, a good podcast and this at dusk. Good times!
