We have a Winner....Congrats to Cathy Happy Pace" Downes on the Overall Female win in the Celina Marathon on Saturday, and too everyone who ran the full, half or 8 miler on this very tough, hilly course, a great event and I hope to see it return in 2016! Big weekend in Chicago as well, Congrats to everyone who ran the Chicago Marathon on Sunday, one of my favorite races, if you haven't been put it on your list.
It was another very inspiring Sunday in Louisville as some new Ironmen or rather Women were crowned, Congrats to everyone who took on this challenge, It was both fun and heart wrenching to follow along all day....now get some much needed rest!
Good Luck and safe travels to Ellen as she heads to Baltimore for the Baltimore Marathon Saturday and to everyone heading to the Indianapolis Marathon, the Detroit Free Press Marathon and the Grand Rapids Marathon on Sunday. Good Luck also to those heading to New Harmony for the Scenic 5k and those running the Manklin Street Run, the See Bob Run 5k, Superhero 5k in Vincennes and the Legends Spooky Trail Race in Owensboro on Sunday!
Several are heading towards the taper this weekend so below is a 12 Mile route and an extension that will get you 16, if you need to cut short you can use the new pedestrian walk at Vann to cross over the Lloyd and head back down Walnut. We will start to utilize these new catwalks in future routes, I have had a request for a catwalk run.
See you Saturday!
Don't Forget....set your alarms, send yourself an email, whatever it takes!
