Most of our Sunday Long Run regulars were off elsewhere this morning racing. Many headed down to New Bedford to run Half Marathon, while others headed to shorter St Patrick’s day races in Somerville and Malden. This left very few behind to enjoy the dank but thankfully not windy day in Melrose.
In the Irish tradition today’s recap of the run will be short, sweet, and in the limerick format:
Here’s to our St Paddy’s long run
Only six people showed up for this one
Evan ran himself six
Walt’s ten were done sick
And the rest ran sixteen and were done
Nothing remarkable happened along the roads today. Brian, Pate, Tracy and myself comprised “the rest” that ran 16 miles. Walt provided a fine water stop in the Dunkin Donuts parking lot. Liz met us over in Saugus at Breakheart, having to sneak through the tight DCR security at a maple sugaring event. Thanks to both for helping our small group get through all those miles. Your assistance made 16 seem easy.
Note, next weekend is Easter. We’ll be running at 8AM from Brueggers still but ON SATURDAY. Don’t show up on Sunday, nobody will be there! Keep your eyes open for details on the route and the water stops through the week.
