Saturday, January 23rd

The BOR was all over the map this past weekend, Congrats to Tim Wargel on the Houston Marathon finish, and Michelle and Allen Walker on the Bermuda Challenge Marathon Weekend. Congrats to former Evansville member and heading up the Louisiana chapter Brittlyn Sosh on her third overall female finish in the Louisiana Marathon!

So you usually head to Florida in January to run in better weather, right, not so much the case last weekend, rain and wind seem to reek havoc in a coupe locations. Jeff Hayden and Laura Hudson battled it out in Clearwater for a shortened Marathon finish and Jennifer Wagner and Sally Miles swam the St. Pete Beach Half Marathon, Congrats to you all on these tough runs!

Run Preview for next week from Sheri 

Next Saturday, January 30th, it will be time to run across the big town of Evansville. This one takes a little more planning because it is a One Way street. We have never had anyone stranded. We usually start at the Cracker Barrel - meet at 6:00am and decide who is driving and who is keeping their car behind. Most important in the planning is to make sure you are getting a ride with someone who matches your breakfast plans. 

If you start at the Westside Walmart the total mileage will be 12.2 miles, plus add-ons. Since this a longer course I am going to the 12 milers at 6:30 from Walmart and 9.5 miler from Pizza King at 6:45. If you want only to do the 7.5 miles starting from the YMCA you can start at 7:15am. If you are only doing 5 miles, my suggestion would be to meet at the Donut Bank on Lincoln at approximately 7:30.

For the core 12+ miles:

Starting from West Side Walmart, east end of the back parking lot.

 *Add on Alvord to Washington and back to Bellemeade or Plaza-end and back, can add approximately 1 mile each street.

See you Saturday!
