The idea was to jog to Deer Island by way of Winthrop, MA but a missed turn on the return route put me in East Boston. Using the Sun and a sense of direction I chose a DR course which luckily allowed my return — before I expired. The intended path cruises Suffolk Downs Race Track, Short Beach, and Crystal Cove. Distance: 9.2 mi. Mostly level except for some gentle rises.

Not a place that I aspire to it but Revere Beach does have the ocean view on the one side so it does have merit. I saw many scrappy, rough looking retirees, some with Florida quality tans getting their sunshine worship. I can’t report on the sand as a running surface but the blvd sidewalk is ultra wide. From hotel to turn back point: 6.4 mi and flat.
