Today I ran 11 miles from Wellesley to Boston. DFMC hosted this unofficial group run today called the New Year’s Day “Welly Ellie Run”. All of us runners started 2015 off on the right foot.

The “Welly Ellie Run” is a long standing tradition of a fun informal run on January 1st.
Everyone meets at Crossroads Pub (495 Beacon St. Boston) around 11 AM. There are several options for the run, if you are ambitious you hitch a ride from friends and family to Marathon Sports in Wellesley.

Marathon Sports will be open for runners to stay warm and use the facilities.
At noon the group starts it’s 11 mile run back into Boston along the marathon course.
If you want to run a shorter distance, you can take the T to Newton Center (approximately 6 miles) or out to Woodland and get a 9 mile run in.

It was a wonderful run and I met a few new people. Next weekend is the first group run of 2015. We will be at the Boston Sports Club in Waltham. I am looking forward to it!

Celebrating running 11 miles and the new year!
