Last Week – We took off for Spot Pond on another cool and soupy July day. We had a great turn out and the rain held off for at least half of the run. I think most of us would prefer this to a hot sunny long run on a Sunday morning. Regina helped me hold it down at the first and third water stop while Nicole handled Straw point solo. We even had a guest appearance by Jim Carson for the Spot Pond Loop. Thanks everyone for another great SLR!
This Week – Looks like more of the same this Sunday, cool and wet. Lets enjoy it while we can, the heat will certainly come soon enough.
The Route – This week is a step back week, distances reduce a bit. The crew will head north to Wakefield with Full Route Runners (10.7 miles) running a loop of Lake Quannapowitt while Half Route Runners (6.2 miles) turn around at the water stop and head back.
