One of my usual runs (Read 665 times)

Beautiful scenery!

Nice pic. That's from the Longfellow, right? I've run over that bridge many times, usually in the early morning though so the light is totally different. THat's a great photo.

That's a post card, no? I'd like to run there Where is it?

It's the Hub of the Universe, better known as Boston. That's the Charles River, immortalized by the Standells' "Dirty Water". Oddly enough, none of the band members were from Boston. It's actually sorta pretty clean these days, they've taken down the "keep open flames away" signs. I ran this very spot yesterday afternoon, it was a little breezy but it's great to be surrounded by fellow runners. It was also the first time I'd seen the Smoot marks on the Mass Ave bridge, so I got a pretty good chuckle from that. That's a great pic Ed, it really does look like a professional postcard.

I wonder if we passed, I was out there too. I did the loop across Longfellow and up to the footbridge by Harvard. Incidentally, the "closed" part of the loop on the Boston side is quite runnable. The pavement is gone, but it's level dirt, and there were plenty of other scofflaws ignoring the signs and running on it.
