First I would like to say I’ve written most of a lengthy recap of last week’s run, I just haven’t had time to finish it up and post it. Thanks again to all that helped with water stops: Barry, Liz, and Nate especially. I hope you enjoyed your day on the course, we definitely appreciated your support throughout the run. The run itself went just as I expected it to. Tremendous performances by everyone, no matter what you did you showed a lot of determination to get through your miles.
This week’s run will be Swain’s Pond and Farm St. Starting out similar to the run to Breakheart a few weeks ago. I had wanted to do a Horn Pond run instead, but considering the amount of flooding in the Winchester area, I’m not sure we can get through that area dry. If anyone has traveled the roads through there in the past day or so let me know if they are still wet. If not we may still change the route.
Due to Easter the run will be on Saturday! I’ll be in my PJs eating candy at 8AM on Sunday. So with that, we only have today to plan. There are three water stops. I’m not sure who’ll be helping me so post here if you want to do a stop.
Also post here if you’re coming. It’s roll call time! Who’s in for SATURDAY, 8AM!
I’m in and can help with a water stop.
i’m in. make me the last one, if possible. in case i want to cut my run short.
See you tomorrow! I can help waterstop if needed.
I will be there tomorrow and I can also do a waterstop if you need it. I plan to do the full 14.8 or some modified version thereof if you need me for a waterstop. SHORTS AND SUNGLASSES WEATHER 🙂 YIPPEE! Jen
Hi everyone,
I’m not sure about tomorrow. I had today off so I just finished 13mi.
I actually did winchester highland around mystic lakes and no roads
were closed nothing flooded. So, if you change the route you should be okay.
If I don’t show tomorrow “Happy Easter”to all I will see you all again
next Sunday.
Also, to all of you doing Boston, I’m looking to find someone that will be
taking the bus from Boston to Hopkinton. Carol, If you are still interested
please let me know. The more the merrier.
Dave, wear sunglasses tomorrow and a hat!
I’m in for the full route. Love that sunshine!
HI,, I’m planning to run about 10. Looking forward to running with you all again in sunny weather!
Hi,
Definitely count me in. It will feel great to run in the sunshine!
I had so much fun at last week’s run. It was great meeting everyone. I’m sorry that I’ll miss out on tomorrow. But I’m definitely planning on next Sunday.
I’m in. 14.8 I should be able to handle..
I’ll be there – although my legs have been dead since last week’s run!
Michele – I will let you know as soon as I know how I am getting out there.
Count me in for the short route
In!
I might be in, but I’m not sure because I’m having a late seder with my family.
If I don’t make it, Happy Easter/Passover/spring!
I’ll be there for the half
Ok, water stop plan for tomorrow:
Dave, meet me and Lois at Nick’s Pizza at 7:40. Take a bucket from me and head to Citizen’s Bank in Malden where you’ll find Judi, drop the bucket, get the Judi, head back to Brueggers. I’ll leave a bucket at Lois car and then Lois and I will head to the knoll by Melrose Middle School and pick up Jen there, then head back to Brueggers. Everyone got it?
Lois at Nick’s,
Jen at the Knoll,
Judi at Citizens Bank,
Dave and I moving people around.
If you accept your assignment let me know by posting here.
Thanks!
Now I have to run to Shaws for some Gatorade!
Also… I’ve got no Gu! Since I worked today and didn’t have time to get to Marathon Sports to replenish the Gu supplies (which I usually do on Saturdays) I’m completely out. If you need Gu for your 14 miler tomorrow, bring some with you. There will be plenty of candy though. Sorry 🙁
fine by me. 7:40 at Nick’s.
I’ll be there for at least half the route!
Got it… see you at 7:40 to pick up the Judi.
I am just reading this message now, 7am on Saturday. I don’t know where the knoll is so I can’t meet anyone there. I will be at Bruegger’s as planned and can drive to the knoll, park there, then run back along the course to meet the group if that’s OK. My home number is 781-662-1100 if someone wants to call here this morning.
Is the “knoll” that little parking area across from the Melrose High School? The one beside El Pond? That’s all I can think of. If anyone is awake reading this, post something and I will be there. Thx!
Yes Jen, that’s the knoll. We’ll see you there right before 8!
Morning Jen,
That’s it. Right across from the High School next to the soccer fields or swimming pools that they were this past week. 🙂 Enjoy your run and Happy Easter!
I will be there! I have a box of GUs I will bring too. Jen
Whoops! Didn’t think it might be on Saturday. Hope it was great! See you next Sunday.
Also: Nate loved helping out and meeting everyone. I think he’s hooked! 🙂
I ran at 8:30…did Breakheart, then back out and up Main Saugus, Nahant, Main Wakefield….serves me right for not checking in. Weather was great. Great job to all of you. Sorry I missed running with you.
