Week 6 – Winchester Highlands

Tomorrow we should get some pretty decent weather for our step up week. Long runners will be upping the miles to 16 tomorrow, shorter distance runners will be at 8. The course will take us over to Winchester, along the Fells, through some hills, and back again. Take a look at the map, this one gets a little confusing.

Water stops will be at Eugene St and the end of Highland Ave. We could always use a third at the Flynn Hockey Rink as well. I could use two or three volunteers. If you’re running shorter, consider parking at Eugene and running the middle part of the run, then you can help with the water stop as well. If someone can man a stop, they could help with 2 and then move on to the Flynn Rink after. Let me know if you can help. If you can meet me at Brueggers in the morning I’ll give supplies there, otherwise if you’re leaving your car I’ll bring the supplies to you and drive you back to Brueggers. Who can help?

Who’s in for this week’s run? I think we’ll get some vacationers back. We might lose a few to the Falmouth Road Race, so I don’t think we’ll have a full crowd tomorrow. Let me know so we can plan supplies. See you tomorrow, Brueggers, 8AM!

    yeah, i’m in for the whole 16. seems like you have enough people but i could certainly help with water stop as well.

    let me know

  9. Ed Bradford says:

    Will probably enlist one of Jim’s shortcuts to get 13 or so – hope the great weather holds for the run.

  10. Haecha says:

    HI Jim,
    Did my run yesterday so I’m available to do the first water stop and then I’ll leave and go to Flynn rink? Let me know in the morning. So happy I’m DONE!

  11. Sue Clough says:

    Teresa and I are going to start at Eugene, end at Flynn rink to do 10 miles, so not quite the full enchilada, maybe a 3/4 one?

  12. David Hayes says:

    Great. I’ll be there for the full. Gonna get up early and look at the meteors too. I saw two big ones this morning.

  13. Amy Akland says:

    I’m in for the shorter loop.

  14. liz tASSINARI says:

    I am in for the middle 4-6 miles-since I have been a lazy vacation slug. Will be at Eugene at 8:30. Let me know if you need me to do anything.

  15. Carol Carstensen says:

    Hoping to make it for something in between the long and the short – but we’re having a floor refinished tomorrow afternoon and need to empty out a room so it depends on how far we get.

  16. Jim says:

    So if Haecha’s going to man water stops, and some people will be parked at Eugene, I think we can do this:

    I’ll give Haecha all the supplies at Brueggers. She can bring them to water stop 1 and leave some at a car there. When we pass through there she can move to water stop 2. After we pass through 2, 3 will aready be set with the stuff she left there. Sue, will you have a car at Flynn Rink? Can we have someone drop some stuff off there?

  17. Audrey Hanscom says:

    I am in for the shorter loop.

  18. Catherine Kane says:

    If I can pick up supplies early, I was going to park at Flynn Rink and run to Bruegger’s for 8 am, do the run and finish at the rink. Let me know. Thanks!

  19. Sue Clough says:

    I wasn’t planning on being at Flynn until 8:30 for Teresa to pick me up and bring me to Eugene. Let me know if you need me and I’ll arrange to get to Brueggers in time to pick up supplies.

  20. Jim says:

    Catherine, I’ll swing by and drop stuff in your car in the morning while you’re running to Brueggers. Send me an e-mail at jimcarson@melroserunningclub.com and let me know what you drive and the plate number.

    Thanks everyone!!!
