Saturday, March 19th

A race weekend dominated by the trails, Congrats to all finishers of the Land Between the Lakes races, good to see this race return to the trails this year, looked like a lot of great runs on a tough course no matter the conditions or the distance you choose, and to those who hit the trails in New Harmony this past weekend for the Sad Panda Endurance Run, looked like a great morning for a trail run once the rain cleared out.

On the road Saturday, looked like a good group headed for Louisville for the Louisville Rodes City 10k, and Congrats to those who stayed in town and ran the St. Practice Run at Ri Ra's Saturday morning, some top finishers and age groupers and maybe a Guinness or two was spilt....

Good Luck this weekend to the group heading South for the Publix Georgia Marathon in Atlanta and to those taking part in the 16th running of the Run of Luck 7k, back downtown where this race belongs, with a 9:00 start from Ri Ra's, don't forget to wear your Green! 

The start of the NCAA Tournament on St. Patrick's Day may be the recipe for disaster, for those that survive with your brackets and yourself intact there are a couple of options below for Saturday morning. I included a short route for those wanting to get in some before the Run of Luck and a longer option for those not doing the race, as always, comment below or on Facebook to meet up early or later as needed.

See you Saturday!
