The full Team Donahue took its first training run together this weekend. On a balmy (55º) Sunday morning we headed out along part of the Boston Marathon course for a 10 – 12 miler. Mike took an early lead with Heidi close behind (take note, for those of you who are voting) and Sharon brought up the rear feeling a bit of lingering knee pain after several runs in the ice and snow during the week.

Heidi and Sharon at the Avenue Deli

Along the course, which included a run up and down the Heartbreak Hill series, we stopped in at the Avenue Deli, where the proprietor had been so helpful during Sharon and Christine’s epic run in the Nor’easter last weekend. He promises to be open on Marathon day this year, so if you’re out there spectating on Comm Ave, be sure to stop in!
