Last Sunday was a tough morning for just about everyone. The hills hit you hard right off the bat, then continued by the Spot Pond accompanied by some hot sunshine, then when you finally found some shade you had another set of hills to get through. Well this week will be completely different!
This week we recover from that run with a shorter, flatter route (could it get any hillier… yes it can, but not this week). We’ll head north straight up Main St into Wakefield. Three miles in you’ll hit the water stop, on the right side of the road right after Dunkin Donuts. You’ll find me there with my bucket full of gatorade and water to get you ready for the next section of the run.
If you’re running the shorter distance, turn around and go back. That’s it!
Longer, continue up Main St you’ll go through Wakefield Center, stay on the right side of the road because after the center there will be a fork where you stay right on Main St. This will bring you up to the east side of Lake Quannapowitt. This run will circle the lake, turning left onto Rt129, left through the Converse parking lot all the way over to North Ave. North Ave will bring you down to a softball field where you turn left onto Church St. Church St will bring you to… wait for it… a church. Turn right at the church and it will bring back up to Wakefield Center and on to the water stop. Another drink, perhaps a snack, and boom, you’re on your way back to Brueggers and done for the day. Nice and easy!
I’ve got the water stops covered so we’ll see you in the AM, 8AM that is, who’s in? ROLL CALL!

Hi Ya’ll,
I’ll swing by to wish you all a good morning and to maybe hang out a bit with Jim (if he’ll let me) at the water stop!
Cheers,

I am out for the MRC long run, but am doing 15 miles at 8am with some uptempo stuff in the Wakefield area with Cristina so may see you all there.
A little late to say it, but I’m in for the long run. The drizzle should be nice!
Mike and I in for the 1/2
I’m a newbie to the Sunday Long Runs but would love to join you for the 7.1.
