We dropped our oldest daughter off at Logan Airport this morning at 4:45 AM as she is off to Jamaica for a mission trip with some of her high school classmates for the week. After we ensured she was off through the security line and ready to go, we decided since we were up so early why not go for a run through Boston and run off some of the emotions of seeing her head off to Jamaica.

We started off near South Station and made our way down the Rose Kennedy Greenway and toward the North End of Boston. While running, we both noted how different it is running in the city (even at the crack of dawn) as there is just so much to take in while out on the run. Plus, running along Boston Harbor is never a bad thing!

Passed by the TD Garden and then made our way toward Charles Street, hands down one of my favorite streets in Boston. The vibe, the shops, the brick sidewalks. That street is just amazing! After making our way down Charles Street it was through the iconic Boston Common before we made our way back through Downtown Crossing and back toward the Seaport where we wrapped up our run.

Post-run we had some time to kill before taking a train back home so we went to PopUp Bagels which I have been eyeing for a while. This spot is something else and the bagels were simply amazing. Hot, a good crunch on the outside and fluffy in the middle. Seriously, these were probably some of the finest bagels we have ever had. Next level good!

On our way toward South Station, we picked up coffees at the new Little Wolf Coffee Roasters. Having awoken at 3:20 AM to make our way to the airport, needless to say the coffee was beyond needed at that point but it also was a really amazing cup of coffee. Definitely will be hitting up this coffee shop again shortly!
