One of the pros is there is plenty to see and do during free time if you have any. :-)
One thing I haven't done much lately is take a full hour plus lunch to walk around and explore. My office is only a few blocks from the Fort Point Channel water front and I have certainly walked down there many times in the past but not recently (recently being... say, a couple of years). With the weather turning summer-like this week, I had heard some folks talk about walking down by the water. So today I decided to take a long walk to the water and check out some portions of the Boston HarborWalk. I headed over the channel to Fan Pier and walked to the end of the developed walkway. Fan Pier is home to the Moakley Federal Courthouse, which wraps around the western portion of the pier. The rest of the pier is currently under development, but was the site and support zone for the recent Volvo Ocean Race that visited the city for about a month starting back in April.
I had promised some original pictures, obviously bicycling-themed, when I stared this blog last year. That has been too slooooooow in developing for sure, but there's nothing like a walk along the Boston waterfront to get me in a picture taking mood with the new LG enV2 cell phone I got a few months ago.
Here are a few a took today.

Sailboats docked at Fan Pier. The red boat in foreground is the type participating in the Volvo Ocean Race.
At the end of the walkway. A view of the famous Anthony's Pier 4 restaurant.
I'm a little concerned about my inability to stick with the general cycling training schedule I thought I'd be able to follow this summer...which means I'm concerned about attaining my weight goal. I'm going to add walking at lunch to my schedule to help burn calories. Stay tuned for more pictures!

I now work less than 2 miles from home, and here's what I miss about my old commute into Boston from Arlington. Most days, I'd bike it, which provided about 25miles per day of commuting bliss. And on other days, I'd do a bus/T combo which would give me time for podcasts! As a cyclist, you should be listening to The Fredcast, The Spokesmen, and Bikescape, and the Bike Show from Resonance FM at least!
