The running community suffered a great loss this week, a friend, a running partner, a smiling face and encouraging voice at a race or group run as well as a daughter, sister and a mother. Janet will be truly missed by all and the loss will leave a hole in the hearts of many.
Unfortunately too often it's a tragic event such as this that puts in prospective how much we value those we spend so much time with, be it at home, work or on the roads.
I encourage those who wish to share a thought or story below to please do so.
What sounded like a rainy Saturday morning wasn't enough to stop a few determined souls, Congrats to everyone who ran the Honest Abe Trail Marathon and 14k, and to Cathy & Dave on their Barkley Fall Classic finish and to all the ladies who made the trip North for the Indy Women's Half Marathon!
Good Luck this weekend to those running the Race for Recovery 5k in Evansville and the Pumpkin Run 5k in Poseyville Saturday and he Race for the Cure on Sunday!
And Good Luck to our Tri friends this week as they head out for Ironman Chattanooga, hope for safe travels and a great race, can't wait to follow everyone on Sunday!
