This Sunday starts the 2011 Summer/Fall edition of the Sunday Long Run. Yep, time to start training for those Fall Halfs and Marathons. I’ll be heading back out on the road and Barry is back running too so don’t expect the pampering you got through the winter/spring session. I’ll need a steady stream of volunteers to support water stops.
For those new to the Sunday Long Runs take a look at the about link up in the right hand corner of the blog. This will tell you what you need to know. The SLR is not funded by the Melrose Running Club, it is a self sufficient training group of the MRC. Each week you’ll be expected to pitch in a dollar or two to support the water stop supplies. Typically if you’re running a half you pitch in a dollar, anything longer two. At first you’ll wonder where the money goes but once we get rolling and the treats start showing up to help you get through the run you’ll realize you’re getting your money’s worth. If you feel like paying once for the season you can donate $30 if you’re training for a marathon, $15 if you’re training for a half.
This week’s run will be heading over to the Lynn Fells, out to Main St in Saugus. For those running short you’ll turn and head back on Howard St for 4+ Miles, those running longer will make your way over to Wakefield High School for a water stop. After the stop you’ll continue on to Water St where you’ll head right. Water will take you to Main where a left will bring you back to Melrose.
So post here if you’re in for this season, if you’re in for the run, and/or in for the water stop support.
I’ll be there, can help with water stop too

I’ll be doing the route with Janice but we are starting early since we are slow and need to do 11 miles. Hopefully we’ll see everyone along the route. We’ll get a head start!

I’m in. I will leave my van at the highschool with water and gatorade. it has a 26 sticker on the back.
Brian, I’ll pick you up at about 7:45 at the high school. I’ll have some supplies as well, we’ll stock up your van and I’ll bring you back to Brueggers.
There will be no stop for the shorter run unless someone wants to volunteer to park at the old J Pace’s parking lot. I can pick you up along the way too. Any volunteers?
