March 16, 2019

This month is going fast, into the third week of the third month!  If you ran early Saturday, you probably had a good run, but if later, chances are that you got wet, and possibly very wet!  Those that ran LBL, had the most fun they could have anticipated.  From what I am told, it was flooded in areas, muddy in most, and the rains came in storms and torrents at times.  I don't like to get my shoes wet, or muddy, but I think that some of those that ran in it, may have even had their fill of fun for a while!  The BOR group as usual, took some of the hardware home!  Congrats Cathy Downes for getting the 100th done! She did it in style with a third overall female.  Other great finishers were Dave Eckardt with fourth overall male, and Mary Nienaber with fourth overall female in the 50 mile.  Congratulations to them and anyone that finished their race!

This weekend we have the USO 10 Miler @ Fort Campbell's Eagle Rest Pavilion, and The Run of Luck on Evansville's Franklin street.  Both races are on Saturday, and are sure to be a good time!  The Run of Luck 7 K, has been going on for 19 years now, and proves to be a fun race right here in Evansville!  Have fun if you are racing either!

This week we will run to the West, with a few hill to make us stronger!  We will be starting out from the Y at 6:15 am, and heading out past Howell Park and around the west side before returning to the Y.  Those not running races are welcome to join us from the Y, or if you choose a shorter route, start and finish from Howell.

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