Friday September 2nd Practice

As I'm sure everyone is well aware, there's no school on Friday September 2nd. For those that are interested and able to get there, we will be meeting in Lincoln at 4 PM. The address where we meet is 145 Lincoln Road which is a shopping center next to the MBTA Fitchburg Line Commuter Rail. In fact, this serves as the Lincoln stop on the Fitchburg Line. There are various parking lots near the shopping center; the one where we meet is the commuter lot which is set back a bit from the road, alongside the railroad tracks and has numbered spaces. If you are using these spaces after 12 PM, the parking fee that commuters must pay is waived. Look for my car when you arrive, perhaps even with me standing next to it.

Why meet in Lincoln to go running? There are miles upon miles of trails there that stretch into neighboring Concord and the Walden Pond area. Here's a small sample:

Here's a video clip (a glorified ad for New Balance) showing members of their elite women's running group training on the Lincoln trails. I'll be sending out maps of the Lincoln trails via e-mail as well, there are also maps available at this link.
