Meme: Places I Slept At Least Once in 2011

I did this meme last year, and found it helpful to remind me of some of the cool stuff I did. So I'm doing it again.

Springfield, MA
Lowville, NY
Hyannis, MA
Boston, MA
Seekonk, MA
Somerville, MA

Compared to last year, 2011 was much less busy. But only in terms of going places. Two cons, one academic conference, one half-marathon and one funeral. But I'm missing something important:

Special mention - Bay State Hospital

I know, it's in Springfield, too. But this was for a very special occasion! :-)

This year, we missed the Tomato Trot because of Pi-Con, the AIDS Run because of Run to the Rock, And the Bridge of Flowers because of Rock n' Roll Providence. As the results show, in that last case especially, it had nothing to do with fitness level. Our timed runs this year were limited by available funds. When I finished school, my income went with it, so we cut back wherever we could. Hopefully, now that I am back to work, that will change for next year.

I'm going to start working on a general year-end wrap-up post, where I'll talk about these results in more detail. Some of my resolutions last year pertained to running, and although I didn't keep them, I'm still pleased with my times and accomplishments this year. I'll explain later, I promise. Just be patient, and you'll see what I mean. :-)
