June 8, 2019

Here we are with the second weekend in June approaching, and what looks like a rainy week.  Some had fun racing the last weekend with the St Wendell, Grillin and Chillin 5K and the St Joseph church 5k run/walk.  We also had our very own, Mom O 6, popping out another one in the Rockies!  Marathon, not another kid!  Congratulations to all that ran!  Also congrats to those running friends that participated in another iron competition!

This weekend, we will go different directions.  Run Walk 812 will follow Jump-Start which starts at 7:00 am from the Old Courthouse steps on 5th street, with routes down and back Walnut.  The Loop Group will meet at Garvin park and loop from that area starting at 7:00 am.  This weekend the BOR group will meet at the Y at 6 and head North.

The weekend racing scene has the Mt. Carmel Library 5K,  by To the Finish.  The Howl Rising trail run at Angel Mounds, and Howl at the Moon night trail race, by Rise up and Run. The Boxer run 5K, at Old National bank.   For those interested in something a little different, there is the RUTS or Run under the Stars Ultra marathon in Paducah KY.  If you haven't done one of the RUTS races, you need to try one.  They are well put on, and you run what you want or feel like.

As always have fun and be safe out there and on the roads be courteous to those driving.

Goal for 2019
is Not to be Better Than Anyone Else,
But to be Better Than I Used to Be
