Sunday Run

The plan is complete (almost). I have a sheet explaining who is going to be where and when. The only wildcard left is whether Pam can run or not (she has been sick). If she does come, we’ll include her car in the mix, if not, the 3 minivans are full! WE’ll all meet prior to 7AM at Brueggers so that the tires are ready to roll at 7AM! This ensures that our legs are rolling by 8AM.

On the way into Hopkinton we’ll be stopping at a gas station just prior to the starting line. Its on the left at an intersection, I think it’s a gulf. This will be your last official spot to use a restroom until the finish, although remember Churches and Fire Stations are a runners best friend.

In advance, a huge thanks to Judi and Andy Pate for the use of their minivans for this. And a huger thanks to Barry and Ginny for driving those vans. Your contributions to everyones marathon training is greatly appreciated.

It will be chilly at the start of the run. Dress appropriately, you’ll be able to shed layers at the water stops along the way.

Enjoy your run. Remember this is a training run, it is not the Boston Marathon. This is a tough course and it can take its toll on you, so run it as a training run not as a race.

Although we don’t have access to any facilities at the finish, there is a coffee shop across from the church we used to freshen up and put on some dry clothes after the run. I suggest you bring at least a change of shirt along for the ride.

Any other thoughts or suggestions for tomorrow for those who have done this before? Post them here!

7AM Brueggers!
