Week 4 – End of the First Month

This will be the last Sunday Long Run of January, one month down, a couple more to go! It’s been a cold one, but that’s just toughening you up for whatever race day will bring.

This week we’re stretching the distance out to 14 for the long run and 7 for the a-little-less-long run. We’ll running over to Melrose High School at the start. If you’re running long you’ll circle Ell Pond and come back by the high school and head up the Lynn Fells toward Grimsby’s. If you’re running the shorter route you’ll skip the Ell Pond loop and just head towards Grimsby’s. Pass Grimsby’s and follow the old Melrose Half Marathon route you ran a few weeks ago. That’ll take through some hills to Highland Ave where you go right and head up to the water stop.

Less-long route will head along the front side of Spot Pond to Pond St. Take a right down Pond, past Grimsby’s and into Melrose along West Wyoming Avenue. At Main St turn left and finish up at Brueggers.

Longer route runners will go clockwise around Spot Pond and come back to the water stop. I’ll still be there. Have a sip, a bite to eat and head out for the rest. Left on East Border, left on Fellsway East, past Grimsby’s along the LynnFells to the high school. Turn right on Melrose St and right on Main. Finish up at Breuggers and you’ll be one run closer to Boston!

Who’s in?! ROLL CALL!!!!
