Sunday Marathon 2021
last updated 2021-04-18
A pseudo-tradition marathon the sunday before the real marathon. In 2021 it was run on Sunday 4/18 starting at my house in Medford and traveling South through Everett until Boston's Belle Isle Marsh Reservation and continuing to Revere Beach, where I turned North until the neck of Nahant. From there, I found the Northern Strand bike path and took it westward home through Lynn, Saugus, Malden and Medford.

The bridge was familiar. I had crossed it years earlier during a similarly impulsive physical activity - trying to beat a train from Boston to Manchester by the Sea by bike;
