Each session of the Sunday Run I detect that the back side of Spot Pond and the Fellsway East grows somewhat tiresome after about 10 trips so in the interest of keeping things interesting, this week we’re heading someplace new: Horn Pond in Woburn. Unfortunately for the shorter distance runners this means you’ll be running the same roads you ran last week, except backwards. Well the route is reversed, you don’t have to run backwards, although that would really make it interesting.
The route maps were posted this morning. If you printed them out earlier this week to commit them to memory in an attempt to avoid what happened last week… rip it up and forget all you learned. This week we’ll head up to Spot Pond, past the Zoo over to our water stop off Forest St by Rte 93. From there the shorter distance runners will head backthrough Stoneham to Franklin St to Main to finish up. The longer runners, if they so choose, will follow Forest St to Washington, cut across Cross St to Woburn. Main St in Woburn will take them to Lake Ave which won’t take them to a lake at all but will take them to Horn Pond and our second Water Stop. A loop around Horn Pond (listen for the sounds of Native American Indians, the pond is rumored to be haunted)Â and back the way we came to Water Stop 3, right where we left it as Water Stop 1. From there we cut through Stoneham just like the shorter distance runners before us, to make our way back to Brueggers.
For those running shorter, here’s an alternate option: Meet us at Brueggers and carpool to somewhere along the full route to jump in, either at Friendly’s for a 8.5 mile run or the first water stop for a 7 mile run.
Although we learned last week we don’t always run what we planned, I still want to know who’s in and what do you plan on running.
