Last week we ran on Saturday through some cold winter winds out to Breakheart and back… and then the Patriots won a playoff game. Sunday the Patriots will play in the AFC championship game so you must go run a long run again. Seriously. You must!
This week we’ll head out in the opposite direction from the first two weeks, down Main Street towards Malden. We’ll turn right onto West Wyoming Street and run to Grimsby’s… like we do on the summer route. At Grimsby’s we’ll turn left though and head over to the Fellsway East and roll up and down the hills of the Fells. Keep running until you get to the rotary at Highland Ave, where you’ll take a right and head up towards Spot Pond. Just before you get to another rotary near the Flynn Rink you’ll find a water stop. Stop. Have a drink, maybe a snack, and then head off for more running.
If you’re running short you stay right at the rotary, past the hockey rink and along Woodland Road to Pond Street. Take a right on to Pond and a left at Grimsby’s on to the LynnFells Parkway. Keep running the LynnFells past Melrose High School. Take a right on Melrose Street and a right on Main Street and before you know it you’ll be back to Brueggers with just over 7 miles under you belt!
Running long? Go left at the rotary on to Elm Street. Circle Spot Pond by turning right on Rt 28 (Main Street), cutting through the parking lot at Straw Point on your right just before you get to Friendly’s, and following Pond Street past the Stone Zoo and Woodland Road up to the Flynn Rink. Next go around the rotary again until you’re back at the water stop.
After your second stop you’ll head up Highland to a quick left on East Border Road. This little hilly road will take you back to the Fellsway East. Go right through the hills again and you’ll pass Grimsby’s and find yourself on the LynnFells Parkway. Follow the footsteps of the shorter route runners past Melrose High School to Melrose Street. A right on Melrose and a right on Main will get you back to Brueggers after you’ve done about 12.5 miles.
Those are the routes. Water Stops? I’ll do one. A volunteer or two would be helpful. Anyone?
So who’s in? ROLL CALL!
