August 31, 2019

This weekend we will be running on the last day of August.  Where has this year gone?  The good thing is that with the shorter days, cooler temps are easing in, and the humidity is a little lower making for ideal running weather in the mornings.
This past weekend, the ultra runners were getting after it, at the 48 Hours in the Dome, with Cathy Downes bringing home 2nd overall female, with 178 miles, and Chastity Hertel running 101 impressive miles.  Mary Nienaber ran the Shawnee Hills 100 K and brought home 1st overall Female, in 14:30:40.  All I can say about these is WOW!  There were a couple of other races, with The Kona Ice Race, and AGS Back to School 5K Dash.  Those that trained with Team 13 ran the West Side Hills, starting with a 1 mile loop in hilly Mesker Park Zoo, and ending with 9 miles total. You should have seen them lined up to start!  Then again, on Saturday evening, Jen, Miki, Jeff, with  Kendra joining for over 28 did a 40 mile training run, ending at almost 4 in the morning.  Congrats to all that raced or ran the hills, and long miles!

This weekend the Team 13 Training will begin at the Y at 7am, for an 8 mile route, going backward through part of the Half Marathon route.  The BOR route will be a 5 mile add on, beginning at the Y at 6 am.  The Loop Group, as far as I know will continue to run the West Side loops beginning from St. Paul's Church.  A little reminder that the Y 15K is coming up next weekend, get signed up for it and the Half Marathon, while you're at it.  http://evansvillehalfmarathon.org/registration/

If you're still looking for a race this weekend, look no farther than the Back to the 80's Race, by Tri-State Fitness, or the Firecracker 5K Challenge, at Grayville IL, by To the Finish.  Both of these races should be fun!  Enjoy your run, wherever it takes you this weekend!

As always, be courteous and thoughtful to the drivers, while running the streets!

Goal for 2019
is Not to be Better Than Anyone Else,

But to be Better Than I Used to Be
