April 6, 2019

Where is the year going?  We are into the first week of April, and about a month from the Peace Run and Harmony Half!  For those counting, Boston is just a couple of weeks away.  For those that ran Saturday with the training group, you might have had to run between the raindrops.  Those that waited til Sunday, had to put the tights and warmer clothes back on. Thanks to Jim Bush, and Cindi and Curt for being there for everyone both mornings, and having giveaways, and discounts to boot!   Looking through the pictures from the, Southern Illinois Spring Classic, few from our area ran this race, but a good crowd came to race.  Congrats to the few that raced, Run the Bluegrass!

This week it looks like, To the Finish, has a race at Friedman Park in Newburgh, The Hopefest, and Hope Run 5K, so if you want a race, get signed up and run it!  Good luck to Martha and Laura running the Coffee Milk Marathon in Rhode Island on Sunday!

The training run this Saturday will be at Yoga 101 on Lincoln Avenue, and will be 10 miles, so if that is all you want, just join up with them at 7.  If you want more, start at the Y and add 7 more miles for the out and back.  If you start at the Y, you will need to leave early enough to give yourself time to get 3.5 mile in before the 7 am start there.  There will probably be extra miles posted for those wanting to meet at Yoga 101.  The Loop Group will meet at the small parking lot near Lincoln at 7:00 am Saturday.  Have fun out there on the roads, and as always run cautiously!

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