Training is going well.  I have really enjoyed the team meetings.  I have met people from all walks of life, and their stories and personalities really add to the knowledge of living.  There have been some cold days and rough weather during the last month.  Yet, we have continued to train in a way that makes the weather seem less important than when I train alone.  Meeting those that have run marathons many times gives me a new perspective about how to approach my first marathon.  All the experienced runners all seem to agree that their first marathon is ther favorite marathon.  I have begun to train on Thursday evenings in Boston.  The team meets at a pub on Beacon Street and then takes a train out to Woodland station in Newton.  From there we run a little over 9  miles through "the hills".  It is actually part of the Boston Marathon route that includes "Heartbreak Hill".
