This week we’ll be running on Saturday to get our run in before the MRC Holiday Party on Saturday Night. We’ll still be at Brueggers at 8AM but be wary that (1) they have more customers on a Saturday Morning so PLEASE stay out of the way of their customers in line and (2) there are more cars out on the road on a Saturday Morning so be extra careful to stay on sidewalks or in single file along the road side.
Last week we had 29 runners make there way through Melrose, Saugus and Wakefield… as well as through slush and rain. While its snowing right now, I hope things are more comfortable than that this week. It’ll be colder but much drier.
This week’s run is once again up Main Street to Green Street with a right onto the Lynnfells Parkway. Follow the parkway all the way out to the Saugus entrance to the Breakheart Reservation on your left. Run up to the parking lot by the headquarters of Breakheart where you’ll find water stop 1.
After a small break in Breakheart, if you’re running short, turn around and head back the way you came for a 6 mile run. If you’re running long head into Breakheart along the path to your right. When the path forks at the pond inside the reservation, bear right to follow the outer loop. Continue around along the paved path through some very challenging hills until you pop back out at the parking lot. The same water stop will still be there. Once you’re done with your second stop, now you head back the way you came.
I will once again cover the water stop duties this week, with some help from Jeanne I believe.
