Congrats to all who kicked off the new year in Alcoa, Tennessee at the Pistol Ultra, I believe all distances, 50k, 50m, 100k and 100 miler were covered, great job Tom S. snagging the age group win in his first Ultra, way to show the Pistol who's boss, and to those who headed further for warmer weather at the Jacksonville Florida Marathon, way to start 2016!
Good Luck this weekend to those heading South for the Mississippi Marathon and further South for the Disney Marathon Weekend...Get your Goofy on!
This week is River Run Bridge Training as we take to the Eastside and hit the Bridges, pedestrian bridges that is, you asked for it and you got it, or at least a few did and we'll hit all but one this week. Below is a 16 mile route that you can easily cut short and head back downtown. Speaking of River Run, training runs will begin in February and I plan to incorporate into the route each week, stay tuned for more information.
See you Saturday!
