Blue Hills



Yesterday was the last day of the school year, and I decided to burn some energy hiking and running in the Blue Hills outside of Boston. The trails there have a good mix of flat biking roads and uneven hiking paths. Altogether, I ran about 7 miles and it felt really good. I am almost near my milestone of 1,000 miles run/walked on my Nike Plus pedometer over a period of a year or so. My goal is to try to get at least 100 miles recorded each month, but it ebbs and flows. Recently some friends and I have begun a challenge on the site to see who can run the most miles in 60 days. The competition is exactly what I need to get myself into a more active mode, but with the summer now here, that shouldn't be a problem. I am really looking forward to the time to plan, exercise, read and spend more time with my wife and family.
