November 9, 2019

Weekend number 2 of November, and lots going on for many in the group.  Last weekend there were a few local races, and then some went to NY for a marathon!  Congratulations to all that raced and met their goals!

The weather is getting cooler, and the running times are feeling more comfortable for running.  When it gets cold, times usually come down!

This weekend we will just meet with Run Walk 812 at USI, by the children's at 7 am.  The trails from there to Burdette Park are nice and hilly, great for training!  If you want, start at Burdette Lodge.  The Loop Group will meet for their loops from the Old Newburgh Lock and Dam area also at 7 am.

Don't forget to save your canned goods for the food drive for Ozanam shelter on November 23, at Ultimate Fit.

In racing this weekend we have a local race at Audubon Park, the Wag, Run or Walk 5K, by, To The Finish.  Out of town, the Monumental Marathon is Saturday, and the much trained for Tunnel Hill 50 and 100 mile Ultra Marathons.  We have many from out group, and from all around the country running in Southern Illinois.  If you are not doing much this weekend, bring some warm clothes and watch what it takes to push the envelope!  There are many opportunities for volunteers.  For more information, https://www.durbinracemanagement.com/#!  Whether racing, training, or watching, have fun 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!
