Week 7 – Running with Bill

I’m back from vacation… just in time for an interesting long run. As Hurricane Bill passes to the east of New England he’ll throw some intermittent rain our way, some wind too, but of most concern to us is the humidity. It’ll be in the 70s for most of our run to Horn Pond and back, but as we’ve learned recently “it’s not the heat, its the humidity”. The 90% humidity will be hitting our area just around the time of our run so start hydrating NOW so you have plenty of sweat stored up for the run!!!

The long route is out to Horn Pond and back, the short run is out to the water stop and back (same as last week but in reverse). If you’re running short and don’t want to look at the same scenery as last week I suggest meeting us at the water stop and running the 7 miles in the middle instead.

Running tip of the week… I’m gonna take this one from Ginny, bring along a bandana to tuck in your waistband, it’ll come in handy for wiping away the sweat as you go along… and I guarantee you will sweat tomorrow!

Water stops. Rachelle volunteered to do water stop 1. Do I have a volunteer for water stop 2 at Horn Pond? Carol volunteered to pick up Rachelle, then couldn’t, then neverminded her couldn’t I think… I’m assuming Carol will be picking up supplies at my house in the morning? Do I have a volunteer to pick up whoever volunteers to leave their car at Horn Pond? That person would also need to pick up water stop supplies from my house? In the meantime, Cossettes and Gaudet, I’ll be by tonight at some point to pick up the water stop supplies from last week. Around 7:00 ok?

So who’s in for the Hurricane Bill humidity-palooza run?ROLL CALL!

Yes, I will pick up supplies from your house Jim. Was it 14 Linden? Rachelle, can you confirm that you will be leaving your car at WS 1?
See everyone tomorrow!

I’ll be at Spot pond with Sue waiting to jump in. I don’t have a bandana but a hankie will do!

I’m tentative for the full route–we’ll see how hot it is and I can leave my car at Horn Pond if Lois can give me a ride in. Jim–if I don’t hear back from you soon, I’ll head over to pick up supplies.

Hmm, except I don’t know where you live . . . I can meet you in the morning if I don’t hear back before 10

Ok, I think it’s easiest if this week’s plan is Lois, Carol and I handling the water stops. Rachelle and Mary, thanks for the offers but I think over the next few weeks we’ll need extra helpers as the runs stretch out but this week can easily be done with three people, so I’ll mark you two down for help next week.

This week: Carol, can you be at WS 1 by the 93 overpass by 7:45? I’ll pick up the bucket from the Cossettes in the morning, head to Horn Pond by 7:30 and Lois will pick me up there, we’ll pick Carol up by 7:45 and see everyone at Breuggers at 8:00. That’ll be the plan unless something gets really confused over the next 11 hours.

See you all in the morning!
