Same here with The Boston——watched it for years.
Boston is miles of long straight streets——London zig zags all over the center of the city. Strange.
I used to run too-—back in 1957 I ran to catch a bus.:-)
.
Having lived in R.I. I’m familiar with Boston...but never to a race.
Living here in Pa. now I recall a gal who moved here from the southern flatlands, poor girl couldn’t get use to driving the hills and curves. Said it was like trying to drive a roller coaster rail! LOLOL. So I get what you’re saying.
I ran the streets and around a high school track when I had an especially stressful life at the time...Lots of family deaths close together etc. But that’s about all the running I’ve done....it certainly helps enormously when you have a lot of ‘stuff’ on your plate!
