I assume there was at least one runner last week that uttered some choice phrases about the hills we tackled on the run. This week we recover from that with as flat a route you’ll find in the Melrose area. We’ll head up Main St to Wakefield. Barry will have a water stop ready at Mile 3, in the parking lot of Nick’s Pizza (next to the Dunkin Donuts). While the half route runners turn around and head back, the full route runners will loop Lake Quannapowitt first, then run back Main St. Simple as that!
So who’s in? Roll Call!
I will be there to run the half route.
Will be out of town but plan to run the course early tomorrow. Will see everyone next week.
The half? Maybe? My IT band is still bothering me and I’m recovering from a cold.
I miss SLRs and the MRC! Sorry about being flakey and not giving real answers about whether I’ll be there or not.
I’m in – see you all Sunday!
I’m in for the full. Are we starting at 8:00 or 7:30?
In for the full… I hope this is an 8am start, as I won’t be online again today to check.
I’m in for the full! This will be a decisive run for me. Good thing it’s one of the easier routes!
I am in. If for no other reason than to bear witness to Ginny’s decisive run!
I’m in for the long route. Thanks again for the H20 stop, Barry!
Planning on joining in for the half route.
I’m in for the full route. Yay!
Im in for both routes!
Maybe i’ll show up a half an hour late like someone we all know did the other night 🙂
I’m in for the short route!!
I am in for at least the half!
Barry and I will probably be there for the half route.
Did someone say pancakes?! Barry, are you sparking up the griddle at the water stop? Count me in for the half!!
Hi Guys!
Back from vacation, ran everyday last week in Maine, just as hot! Hoping to run the whole route! See you in the AM!

I’m in for the full route and hoping for a nice breeze off Lake Q.
I’m in for the full. Hopefully we will have decent weather.
I think I’m in for at least the half
i’m in for at least the half – maybe to Nick’s and around the lake and done.
In for the half, maybe a bit more, we’ll see….
i guess brueggers at 8 for the half route lose my beauty sleep
I’m out. I’m going to use the Yankee Homecoming 10M on Tuesday night as my long run so I can sleep in tomorrow:-) Great running BTW to the contingent that went down to RI on Friday night! Just saw the results…MRC was well represented!
Ok, Nate and I just finished cupcakes we plan to partly burn off on the half route. I made a pact to meet Kerry @ Bruegers so I will be there, although it’s sure to be painful.
Too hot & humid for me. Time to ride the bike instead…
I’m in for the half. Sorry for the late reply.
I hope to wake up and make the full route
I plan to be there for the full 10.something
I’ll be there for the full.
In for the half…sorry for the late rsvp.
Definately flatter than a pancake.
If a 6″ pancake with only a 1mm rise in the center was stretched out over 10 miles, with the center rising equally as much as you stretch the pancake, it would have about a 350 foot hill in the middle.
The biggest hill today was only about 75 feet over a 2.5 mile stretch on main st.
Next week will be hillier than a muffin!
Wow!
What a turnout today. Did anyone get a head count? It looked like 30+!

I will try my best to be there for the 1/2; in the middle of moving.
