After a weather debacle last week, this week we’ll try to get back on track. The marathon trainers will be heading out for almost 18 miles. From Brueggers, up to Melrose Common, around Swains Pond, across Malden to the Fellsway East, through Melrose to Saugus, a loop around Breakheart, and back to Melrose.
For those wanting less you’ll have a few options to cut off for anything from 4+, 7, 8, or 11. Also any one interesting in supporting those running longer can park at a water stop and start there to cut off some of the distance.
As for the stops there will be one at the Citizen’s Bank on Main St in Malden, at the knoll by Melrose Middle School, and at the Saugus entrance to Breakheart. BarryP plans on helping out, and I think I’ll be jumping in (although my trunk smells extremely musty after getting soaked last week so I’m not sure it’s up for being used for a water stop) but I think I need one, maybe two volunteers to help Barry out. Barry, let me know if you’re in, and anyone else running parts of the run that could help out.
Who’s in?
I’m in. I could do either the water stop at Citizen’s or at the knoll.
I’m in. I could do either wstop close by MRC. Just let me know. Any passing sprinkles overnight should be departing at sunrise. MUCH cooler Sunday with a 40s run and ne wind… ideal temps. Probably lots of cloud but might get a glimmer of sunshine by 11am. wd
I plan on running shorter than 11 so I can do a water stop also and run from there. Let me know what I can do to help. Thanks!
I’m in….not sure what distance
Im in for the water stops!
I’m in for the 11 route.
I’m in for 10ish, I might end at Breakheart.
My thoughts: We’ll have Walt put his car at the Knoll in the morning (you can pick up supplies along the way). Sue, do you want to put your car at Breakheart? This way you can end there and Nancy and I can decide on the run whether to stop there for either 10 or 13 miles. Barry, you can handle water stop 1 and then move around at your leisure from stop to stop.
Looking forward to a decent weather run! See you in the morning.
i’m in. probably will stop at Breakheart with Sue.
Knoll it is… will probably stop by the house ard 730am ish and follow our grou out…no need to wait. thanks Jim. walt
I am in. Not sure how long I’ll make it
Jim-no problem, I’ll leave car at Breakheart…can you bring the supples and bring me back to Brueggers?
Will do, Sue! Around 7:45 at Breakheart.
I’m thinking of doing at least 11, maybe more. See you tomorrow.
Hi, I’m set for the entire route. Thank you everyone for the waterstop support.
I’m in for the full count, hope I’m not alone
See you all in the am
I am in for the 11.
I’m injured. 🙁 I probably won’t run unless I make a miraculous overnight recovery. At the very least, I’ll be there for breakfast.
Sorry for the super late notice, but I don’t think I’m in this week because I’m not feeling great. It’s one of those days where I’m not sure I’ll even make it a mile.
Have fun!

Lauren, feel better!
