Saturday, February 20th


It was a Big weekend in racing, Congrats to everyone who braved the cold temps everywhere, those who were down South in Birmingham for the Mercedes Marathon, Austin, TX for the Austin Marathon and even further down to Ft. Lauderdale, FL for the A1A Marathon, and to those who kept it local in the Fly with the Eagles run in Marion and the first of the series Hearts on Fire 5k here at home, 2016 is kicking in!






Looked like another big crowd for a very cold second week of River Run Training which took off from Tri-State Athletic Club, this week it moves a little East to Ultimate Fit.


Good Luck to everyone running the George Rogers Clark 10 miler and Rita Barker 2 miler in Vincennes, and to everyone taking on the Bound the Mound runs in Evansville this weekend.





Below is another Eastside route for Saturday....I know, but the River Run Training starts at Ultimate Fit and the below route swings right by for those wishing to hook up with the group for a few miles. Comment below or on Facebook if you are looking to head out early to get to Ultimate Fit by the 7:00 start.

Don't forget your post run pancakes and I promise, more hills next week.

See you Saturday!
