<p>I've been busy in the last few weeks rehabbing my plantar fasciitis after Boston, and recommitting to my resistance workouts.  Yesterday, though, I took my plantar fascia out for a spin to see how she'd hold up.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>My twin sister, Karin, and I ran the Great Urban Race here in Boston. For those of you who haven't been bored by my lengthy reports of this race in the past, here's a brief description.  Teams of 2 solve clues and run through the Boston metropolitan area to various checkpoints to beat the clock.  Is it a scavenger hunt? A road race?  A sight-seeing tour? Mayhem? All of the above. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Clues can be solved in any order, and teams can navigate the city by running or using public transit.  Teams are allowed to skip one clue, and deciding which clue to skip can be crucial to the strategy.  If you arrive at the finish line with an incorrect clue, there is a 30 minute penalty assessed. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>I'll get into the race details in the next post.</p>

<p>What a great event!  Thanks for the report, Robin.... it made a really interesting read. </p>
<p>They have similar event here in Toronto called the City Chase.  One of my co-workers did it a few years back.</p>
<p>thanks for sharing it with us!</p>
