Sunday Run

Join us for a long Labor Day weekend 20 mile long run!

Where : Brueggers

When: 8AM

How Much: $2 for those that have been part of the training plan all season. If you drop in for just the longer long runs, remember the SLR is funded completely by your Sunday morning contributions, if you’re taking more than you’re giving please consider giving more.

Theme: Hat Week. Keep the sun off your noggin by wearing some sort of hat this week. Besides the hat, you should be working on figuring out your race day attire. Try out what you’d like to wear and see how it works for you. Also check out your running shoes. Wear comfy ones on this run, but plan out where your shoes will be in about 6 weeks. You might want to buy a new pair, either to wear in your race or to help stretch out the ones you’ve been training in so they’ll last until race day.

Where (Half Route): Here’s an overview of your route, look at the map for details. Head out Wyoming, up past the zoo, past Friendly’s. Turn right when you get to the lights on Park Street, onto Marble Street, over 93 to the Eugene water stop. Next run a loop in Winchester on Forest Street, left on Highland, right on Eaton Street at a little park, right on Washington, and right at the Gingerbread Construction Company back on to Forest. A few hills gets you back to the Eugene waterstop. Then head back the way you came to finish up your 10 mile run!

Where (Long Route): Here’s an overview of your route, look at the map for details. Head out Wyoming, up past the zoo, past Friendly’s. Turn right when you get to the lights on Park Street, onto Marble Street, over 93 to the Eugene water stop. Continue on Forest, turn left on Highland and follow that straight to the end for the next water stop. After that stop go left on Rte 38. Cross over to the right side and take a right onto Playstead Road. This will bring you to High Street where you’ll turn right. Note the Dunkin Donuts across the street, a convenient place for a restroom break. Follow High Street to a rotary at Mystic Valley Parkway (don’t cross over the bridge into Arlington). Go right onto Mystic Valley Parkway along the Mystic Lakes. Turn right at the end of the road onto Bacon, then take your first left back on to the Mystic Valley Parkway. As you pass a field and school on your left keep your eyes open for a water stop. Leave that stop and take a left at your second set of lights onto Washington Street. Washington will take you to the Gingerbread Construction Company where you’ll turn right and run up to Eugene for another stop. Continue over 93, turn right at the lights at Park Street and get back to Friendly’s. From there run the back side of Spot Pond over to Elm Street to the Highland rotary and turn right onto Highland Ave. There will be a water stop there. Take Highland all the way to the traffic circle at the Fellsway East, go left there, up to Grimsby’s, onto West Wyoming to Main and back to Brueggers for 2o!

Water Stops: I think I have Tom, Jeff, Lois, and me to help get you through all these miles.

Who: You! Who’s in? Roll Call!
