Week 13 – Taper Time

After a successful trip to Hopkinton last week, and 22 miles in the books, its time for a nice easy run through Melrose. We’re going back to Swains Pond, along the Fells, out to Farm St and back Main this week. There are a few hills in there, but it ends with a nice flat Main St stretch. Remember these next few weeks are all recovery runs. My motto is “Don’t do anything stupid” from here until the marathon, so as the miles go by don’t get too ambitious and try to set any records on a taper run!

The Water Stops this week will be at Citizen’s Bank in Malden, the knoll by the Middle School, and Nicks Pizza in Wakefield. I will only run a part of the route, if anything, so I’ll plan on taking the first two stops. If someone will volunteer to be water stop 3 at Nick’s I can pick you up in the morning and leave your car with a box of supplies. Who’s interested?

Ok, who’s in? ROLL CALL!
