March 11 HPT Tempo Run

Written by Brian Danza

Monday, 11 March 2019 10:34

Hey Everyone, 
 
It's March, Boston is one month away, and we are getting to the end! This also means that our tempo runs are now reaching the absurd level in terms of length. Case in point, tonight we are running 42 minutes worth of tempo, which gets most of you all the way around HP and past Gtown. 
 
It is going to be a very nice night, which is definitely a plus. 
 
See you tonight!
