Welcome to the Fall 2013 Sunday Long Run, starting on Saturday July 13.
For those new to the program, each week we meet at Brueggers on Main St in Melrose ready to run by 8AM. We’ll have a very quick review of the days route out on the sidewalk and then send you off. If you aren’t familiar with the Greater Melrose area (Wakefield, Saugus, Stoneham, Winchester) you should bring a copy of the route with you. Hint: keep it in a plastic baggie because the ink tends to run when you sweat. Along the route will be water stops, sometimes hosted by an MRC member, sometimes just a car along the route. Pay attention to the announcements on the sidewalk, we’ll tell you where the cars are. The stops will contain at least water and sports drink, as the runs get longer they’ll have an assortment of snacks to help you through the run as well. To pay for water stop supplies please contribute $2 if you’re running the long run, $1 if you’re running the shorter route, each week. If you plan on running the whole 15 weeks feel free to pay $30 to cover the season. If you have any other questions look over the “About” section at the top of the sidebar on the right. If you still have questions post them here, someone will know the answer.
For those not new to the program, welcome back!
I’m not in the vicinity of Melrose, so I’m depending on others to start up on Saturday. The route is posted and Lois Parker Carmona and Paul Locke will help coordinate water stops. Please help out if you can. If someone is running the shorter route, consider volunteering for a water stop on your route.
Each week we have a roll call. This helps us determine how much we need to stock in the water stop buckets. If you don’t chime in here don’t complain if we run out of water. This also helps us keep a mental note of who’s showing up and who might still be out on the road at the end of the day. Don’t be shy, let us know you’re coming.
That’s all I have to say.
Have a good run!
ROLL CALL!
I am in for the full.
FULL plus breakheart!
I’m in!
I’m hoping to be there to do some run/walk variation of the short route while I get back in shape 🙂
In, in, in 😀 and I will follow Barry, may be will catch some of his speedy dust 😉
I’m in for the full & will leave a red Nissan minivan (with the MRC bumper sticker) at the Wakefield High School water stop. I also have supplies if someone wants to volunteer for a stop at Main St (Saugus) and Lynn Fells Parkway (halfway for the half run).
I’m not in this week. Hate to miss the first run of the season, but can’t make this particular Saturday.
Run speedy, run happy and hope to see you all at the summer party later!
I will give it a try. I am training for the Bay State full and could use some support as the miles get longer. See you tomorrow.
I’m in for the full and maybe a bit more before or after.
In for the full.
I’m in
I’m in for the full plus a little.
In for the full-woo hoo!
I am in for the full I think see how I feel
In!
