| I ran a 10 mile loop around the Charles River tonight (8:10 pace) beginning at 6:00 ... office (Prudential Center) to Museum of Science up Cambridge side to BB&N and back to office (Boston side) without passing or being passed by a single runner other than runners (hundreds of them) running the other way. There were probably 1000 runners (or more) running the river this evening. It's like Menino and the mayor of Cambridge sent out a memo that all runners should run the river clockwise and, as usual, I didn't get the word! |

| Maybe all the people running counterclockwise were running at exactly your pace! You would never pass one of them... |

If saw 1000 people running in one direction, I think I'd be more concerned about what was chasing them.

Pretty sure that run fast, turn left is the right way to go. BTW Jay, Tuesday's results are posted.

It's one of the great things about running along the Charles Tom, unless you're a ridiculously early riser or the weather is total crap you have TONS of company.
It's rather an odd distance, but they are resurrecting an old favorite. The New Charles River Run is June 29th for all you river runners. |

In addition to the hundreds of normal Charles runners, the Somerville Striders do Thursday night runs - some themed - out of the Marsh Post every Thursday night. You probably timed that perfectly to hit them last night. It's a fun group, drop by and run with us sometime (disclaimer: I haven't been in a couple weeks).

My roommate and I have wondered at what hours and weather conditions there is no one there, since we passed a couple people one morning when it was, for lack of a better precipitation category, icing. Probably they were all out there accruing HTFU-points, like ourselves.  |

I'd have worn myself out with all the polite nods and "Mornin"s.
Maybe you could print "Mornin'" on your shirt and you wouldn't actually have to say it all 1000 runners. Yep, that's how I'd do it.
Seriously, I'm from New Mexico, where nobody runs. A couple of years ago I was staying at the Royal Sonesta, and man, there were a lot of runners around the Charles and MIT. I finally got the whole Boston runner thing. |
