I ran to work this morning..... Adventure!  I could see myself doing more of this in the future.  There is one significant climb that comes right about the same time the big climb hits in the Sugarloaf Marathon.  It doesn't feel good, but it should help me on race day :)

If I ever did that, I'd probably be wandering around the parking garage for hours after work, looking for my car. Hope you make it home...is hitchhiking legal up there?

That's funny. I left clothes and a towel at work. I didn't think it out to we'll though. I forgot to leave deodorant and a belt.

Here comes Deron smelling like he has an Italian grinder under each armpit, and oh great.... his pants keep falling down.

Is hitch hiking illegal in Massachusetts

I didn't know, so I googled it.

According to Massachusetts law, hitchhiking is not allowed on turnpikes. This includes I-90. Hitchhiking other highways is allowed if you follow the rules of the road (stay on shoulder, walk facing traffic, do not pass 'pedestrians prohibited' signs)

Tough decision for the hitchhiker.

You can walk/run toward your destination facing traffic and hope someone going the opposite way is willing to pick you up and u-turn / go out of their way to drive you somewhere.

Or, take a chance and start walking away from your destination in the hopes that you get picked up, but risking that you end up even farther away.

I think I am doing Sugarloaf this year. Since I haven't seen by sub-3:00 pacer check in the mail yet, I guess I'm going for the win :-)

The hills from 7-10 are pretty significant. At the time I was running really flat areas and these were quite tough. That said you shouldn't under any circumstances try to maintain pace on them. I ran them 30-40 seconds slower than my average pace. You'll get those seconds back I promise you.

Jesus for the win!

Thanks for the tip... much appreciated.

D, solid run. You are really doing well right now.

Jason, I'll buy you a beer, maybe two, if you go to Sugarloaf. Does that sweeten the deal?

From Jason D on Sun, Mar 06, 2016 at 14:31:19 from 68.80.27.222

That does sweeten the deal a bit. I'm still trying to figure out if it will work out. The winning time from last year has me quite interested. You never know who will show up or what the day will bring though.
