When I first started dating my wife - she lived in an apartment on Beacon street in Boston - directly across from a bar called Crossroads. Every once in awhile we would end up in this fine establishment (once for New Years).
This same bar has a tradition of hosting the various charity running teams on Thursday nights. People gather at the Crossroads and then take the subway out to various spots and run back into the Crossroads. The Crossroads provides free pizza for the runners after they arrive back at the bar.
Tonight was my first experience with a Crossroads night. I met the team in Newton Centre and ran 7 miles along the marathon route and ended up at the Crossroads enjoying a beer and some pizza with about 50 other runners.
This was my first time running on the marathon route and it felt good to get a feel for the terrain.
