The maps for this week’s run are available by clicking on the distance you want to run this week where you see the plan on the blog. Marathoners will be running 12.5 miles while half marathoners will be doing 7.1 miles. Those wanting something in between can follow the marathoners around the back side of Spot Pond then cut down Pond St to the Lynn Fells Pkwy for about 9.5 miles.
Just a few quick notes:
– It’s gonna be chilly out there. Dress appropriately. You can always drop things off at the water stop, you can’t add things.
– It may be slippery out there. Be aware of ice on the side of the road.
– The roads are narrow. Due to snow you might be forced to run further out in the road than normal. Run against traffic so you can see what’s coming. Run single file where necessary. Don’t assume people see you.
– Let the water stop attendants (when there are some) know what route you’re planning to run.
Speaking of water stops attendants, we have three volunteers for 1 water stop. Rick has the supplies from last week, so he’s in. I have additional water, gatorade, gu, and jelly beans too. Let me know how we’re doing for cups. Nick and Liz, if you want to work out an additional stop or just help out Rick, that would be appreciated but not 100% necessary. Let me know what you want to do. Only one of you needs to meet at Brueggers at 8 to pick up the extra supplies.
Time for the roll call! Let me know if you’re coming.
See you at Brueggers at 8AM.
Jim
temps seem slightly warmer than originally forecasted, or am I just being overly optimistic? See you at Brueggers.
Okay, Nancy, I was thinking the same thing…..

Still working on a sitter for the morning, I hope to be there!
I’ll be there…looking forward. BIG BIG thanks in advance to our waterstop volunteers… Yes Nancy and Sue, originally we expected colder… we’ve backed off. i posted on the what to wear site so wont repeat… but lets look for 23
degrees, a 10-18 mph northwest wind. I like that what to wear site Jim added.
In the morning, Walt
I’ll be there, hopefully with a better pair of shoes…
I’ll be there too. Planning to do 8-9 miles…
I’m coming. Probably running around 10 and 1/2 ish a little slower because of all the layers I’ll be wearing. Not as cold as Mill Cities though. Yay! Glads it’s warming up a bit.
I’ll be in. Pam, too. Happy to hear it won’t be as cold as originally expected.
Liz won’t be able to help with water stop this week.
See you all in the a.m.
