Mile Splits and Mile Thoughts:
Mile 1-8:47 starting off feeling good going over Mass Ave Bridge
Mile 2-9:07 still feeling alright
Mile 3- 9:18 going into Brighton, regretting wearing a tshirt instead of a tank
Mile 4- 9:24- Turning in Watertown onto Storrow and see a water fountain- so exicted!
Mile 5- 9:37- Cross bridge back to Memorial, Stop at gas station to buy water, continue on Memorial
Mile 6- 9:21- Are we done yet? Thinking there is no way I am going to hit 15 on my own
Mile 6- 9:21- Are we done yet? Thinking there is no way I am going to hit 15 on my own
Mile 7- 9:19- Cross over Mass Ave Bridge back to Storrow
Mile 8- 9:50- hit water fountain, take some walking breaks
Mile 9- 9:58- Bridge closed on 28 near Muesem of Science for commuter rail, wait 5 min in hot sun until opens up, stopped watch
Mile 10: 9:50 -Dying, taking walking breaks, can't wait to be done, run out of water, blisters hurting Mile 11: 13:13, Stopped to check on my blisters, didn't stop watch, finally cross Mass Ave bridge back to my gym! Contemplate doing 4 more miles on the treadmill but decide to call it a day. Long Run Fail.

You did great! It's always a struggle for me to get over 30 mpw too. Sorry you had to run alone. If you need a running buddy next Thurs-Sun, let me know. I'll be near Boston :)
