Month number 2 of the New Year is here this weekend, and the past weekend brought some good weather for running on Saturday and Sunday for the Freekin' Freezin' Race and the indoor YMCA Triathlon. Hoping everyone had a good run or race!
If you are planning an upcoming Marathon, Half Marathon, 5K or other race, and would like to join a group that is traveling to that race, send me the link, or race and people you know that are planning to attend, with their permission to post. In my past racing, I have enjoyed the many groups that have traveled to the races, and the events, pre and post race, that we have enjoyed together! There is more fun in numbers! These groups are listed below as: Road Trippin (Marathon, Half Marathon, or any race out of town, Kool-Aid Drinkers (Ultra Marathons). You don't have to run or race in these, but can add your name to car pool or join the travels to cheer your friends on.
If you have a group that runs during the weekdays, and want to post on the Band of Runners Facebook page, List your days, times, and average pace, so that if anyone is looking for a group to stay fit with, they can join your group.
Beginning next week, February 9, 2019, we will start the Peace Run Harmony Training. The first week will be at Ultimate Fit, and I am sure Curt, Cindi, and Jim Bush will have sales and giveaways' to make it a fun experience!
We will continue to combine running groups on our long Saturday runs in an effort to give opportunities for everyone to find the right fit for their training and fitness needs. This week on Saturday beginning at 7 am. the BOR group will start at the Y and Walk Run 812 is starting at Howell Park, where we will crisscross each other. This week, To the Finish will sponsor a water stop in front of Howell Park for all the runners on these routes. They always put on good races, so see if you can find one that fits you!
As always be Courteous and Safe Runners!
Goal for 2019
is Not to be Better Than Anyone Else,
But to be Better Than I Used to Be
Here is an opportunity to help out those in need, all while enjoying oneself! We are trying to get a group of runners to get together for a fun dinner/ dance, so talk it up, and join the fun! Get with Bradley Hayden for advanced tickets.

The Ozanam Family Shelter is hosting a Sock Hop as a fundraiser for the Shelter. The Sock Hop will occur at the VFW on Wabash Ave., Saturday, February 23rd; Tickets are $25 a person. A chicken dinner will be provided with your ticket.
o Doors Open – 5 p.m.
o Dinner Served – 6:30 p.m.
o Music/Dance – 7:30 – 10:30 p.m.
o Silent Auction closes – 8 p.m.
o Chance Auction closes – 8:30 p.m.
There will be a cash bar to get you out on the dance floor. We will also have auctions and half pots. I know $25 is a steep price for a chicken dinner, but this is a fundraiser. At least $12 from that ticket sale will go straight to the Shelter!
There were at least 200 attendees last year and we set a goal of 350 this year.
If you are interested, please let me know asap so I can reserve the tickets for you.
Much Appreciated,
Bradley R. Hayden
