Hi, there! š
My morning started like most other Saturdays: eating my usual pre-run breakfast, meeting running friends at the South Boston Running Emporium, and cranking out a long run together.
Today’s run was a 13-mile route from Southie to the Boston Common around the Charles River and back. I ran with Nick and Ashley again, and we finished in 1:58:36 (9:07 pace).
- Mile 1: 9:35
- Mile 2: 9:10
- Mile 3: 9:22
- Mile 4: 9:14
- Mile 5: 9:22
- Mile 6: 9:04 <āāGu
- Mile 7: 9:11
- Mile 8: 9:11
- Mile 9: 9:05
- Mile 10: 9:11
- Mile 11: 9:05
- Mile 12: 8:35
- Mile 13: 8:25
Nick and Ashley picked up the pace at the end of our run, so I pushed myself to keep up. I really love running with other people for this reason. I swear these two are going to make me a faster runner!
After the run, I refueled with Marylou’s Almond Joy iced coffee and leftover Buffalo Chicken Pizza from last night’s dinner. Clearly, proper nutrition was on my mind this afternoon.
Now, I’m heading to a friend’s bachelorette party of the night. I have a feeling it’s going to be ridiculous!!!
Happy Saturday!!!

That pizza looks delicious! Nice work on that run- running with faster people and keeping up always feels like such an accomplishment!

Wow! That’s a great time! I thought my 9 miler was a lot this morning, but you blew me out of the park! š
Wow, you’re really fast! You should feel you proud of yourself; I definitely am!

I want to go to a bachelorette party for no other reason than to buy penis balloons š
Wow a half marathon already under your belt lol
Congrats on a great run!! Have fun at the bachelorette party tonight! Mine is coming up soon, and my maid of honor has informed me that she has bought a cake pan in the form of male genitalia..oh Lord!
Awesome run! What a great pace.. hoping you are feeling okay after the distance! Have fun tonight.. a well deserved night of ridiculousness!

Sounds like a pretty fantastic day so far š You are totally rocking your runs!!! I will be excited to get back into running after the peanut is born. Have fun tonight- the last picture is just awesome
Bachelorette parties are the best! Have fun!
Awesome mileage times! The bachlorette party sounds like it should be fun. Can’t wait for the recap!
Happy Saturday to you as well!
What a great long run! I’m hoping to get out for 10 miles tomorrow morning. So excited for the R2R! š
I’m ALWAYS motivated to run faster when I am running with others. I don’t want to slow them down, after all!
Have fun at the Bachelorette Party! š
I am so super duper pumped. I came home today with a 1st place medal for women in my age group, and we had the most registrered entrants!! A 2 mile race, I ran all two miles with not stopping and I only began running the middle/end of January of 2011.
Murphy is totally staring down your pizza. Stalker!
I really want to find a running group! I need some motivation š Also, I think I had a dream about Marylou’s. My aunt is temporarily living in Quincy, and I won’t be able to visit by the time I get back!
Good thing you got your run in before the bachelorette- in guessing you will be feeling less than stellar tomo morn :)- have a fab eve
Yeah for Saturday long runs! And ones with friend nonetheless! I got 20 miles done this morning–10 of which were with a friend!
Have fun at the party!
Great pace for your long run! I definitely need to start running with others more often, I really pick up the pace!
Have fun tonight!
š
WOW you are quick!!! And obviously have a lot of endurance too!
have fun being ridiculous tonight š
Puggy wants some pizza!
Awesome job on the run. You’re so speedy!!
Haha! Have fun tonight! š
Oh gosh, that photo is hilarious! Have fun!
Gah I need to improve my running times! Looks like a great Saturday though!
running groups are the only way I am motivated to pump a long run out on the weekends. nice to see that you have such a solid group to meet up with! American or English speaking runners are hard to come by in Amsterdam. Maybe I have yet to find them….!
LOL That bachelorette pic is hysterical. Have fun!
Bachelorette parties are so fun, I hope you had a great time!
Are those Balloon Swords?! š
I’m sure the party was a good time!
Oh those balloons are too funny. Nice job on your run, I definitely go faster when racing (because I’m running with others). It’s the only time I don’t run alone. I’d like to join the Run Club at Lifetime Fitness, just not quite yet.

Wow a half marathon ‘just another Saturday’ run. Awesome! Hope you have fun at the party!
You’re “just another Saturday” is more than impressive! Way to knock out the run early before the festivities!
