Today’s bike ride took me by the Clarence DeMar Memorial at Ell Pond in Melrose. Photo op!
One of the nice things about biking instead of running is that I can eat in the middle of my workout. The Blue Moon Grill in Wakefield is just couple of miles past the memorial on today’s route, and my weight has been low enough the past few days for me to allow myself a hearty breakfast. Coincidence? I think not.
(20.1 mi. bike; 145.5#)
We run past that memorial almost every Sunday on our Sunday Long Run. Many people stop to brush their hand across the memorial.
I always give Johnny Kelly a high five when I run by his statue (unless it’s Patriot’s Day).
