After stretching out to a long hilly 12.5 mile long run last week, we step back this week for a shorter flatter 10.7 mile long run this week. Due to the holiday party Saturday Night, and in order to give you no excuses to not party it up as much as you can, the long run this week is moved to Saturday morning. Yes, Saturday Morning. Did you hear that everyone? SAURDAY MORNING. (Someone will still show up Sunday).
It’ll still be at 8AM. It’ll still be at Brueggers. But it will be Saturday instead. Because it’s on Saturday there will be more traffic along the roads, and the parking lot will be more crowded, so plan accordingly. We’ll head out north on Main St towards Wakefield. Continuing all the way to the intersection of North Ave and Main St. Where Dunkin Donuts and Jiffy Lube are. In the other corner, at Nahant St, you’ll find water stop 1.
If you’re running the shorter route you’ll turn around and go back to the start. That’ll give you a 10K distance run. If you’re running the long you’ll keep heading up Main St, through Wakefield Center, up to Lake Quannapowitt. When you reach the lake you’ll stay to the right and circle the lake counter clockwise. Main St to Lowell St (Rte 129) into the Converse parking lot along Quannapowitt Parkway. You can follow the path along the lake there, or head around the building it you want an extra bit of running. Run up to North Ave, follow that to the softball fields and turn left on Church St. When you hit the church bear right and head back to Main St and the water stop.
From that water stop you’ll head back down Main St to Brueggers. Grab a coffee, chat a little, then head home to get ready to party! The rest of your weekend is free.
