With the arrival of spring and the approaching Boston Marathon, a new book on wonderful local running routes, Great Runs in Brookline, has just been published. Geared toward recreational runners and walkers, the book features more than 25 "themed" runs through Brookline's great neighborhoods, ponds, parks, and pathways. It is available at local book shops and retail stores, such as Brookline Booksmith, B.U. Bookstore, and Marathon Sports.

Boston Charity Walk Season

It's charity walk season here in Boston, and that means every weekend, some part of the city will be shut down, causing major traffic and mobility headaches.

I think there is a better way...charity walks, extortion style.

Sharon checks in from a conference on making greater Boston more friendly for pedestrians and bicyclists. She points to the Boston Bicycle Planning Initiative, which is working with both MassBike and WalkBoston to make the Hub more walkable/bikeable. She doesn't note that the group's URL, BikeTheHub.org is a way cooler name.
