Well we made it to the last weekend of April, and spring has sprung! Many had fun running the River City 10 miler, and The Fast and Furriest 5K. The weather was cooler as I could see from pictures while visiting my granddaughter in Florida! The weather there was perfect, and I wish I had been able to get some miles in, but sometimes when you are recovering from whatever had you laid up, this time my shoulder, it is good to enjoy other things in life, like a daughter and granddaughter in Florida. Can't believe I have a 2 year old granddaughter! Hope everyone else had a good race or training run and is ready for the upcoming Peace Run and Harmony events!
This weekend we get our last training run in for the Peace Run and Harmony half marathon, or whichever race you are doing. If you haven't signed up yet get with Jim Bush at the Rise Up and Run site. There is a half, quarter, and 5K to race on May 4th and 5th. The PRH training starts at 7:00 and ends up at Lamasco Bar on Franklin. There will be an 8 mile and 5.6 mile route available. The BOR group will start at the Y at 6:45 and run to Lamasco to run the 8 mile route for 10 miles, or add the 5.6 miles for a good long one before returning to the Y. The Loop group will start at St. Paul's UCC on 12th Ave. and W Virginia street for their looping point.
On Saturday there is the St. Jude Give Hope 5K at Burdette Park for those race seekers, so get with, To the Finish for registration information. Look at Rise Up and Runs site for information about the Tri-Fest 5k. On Sunday, there is the Run the Vineyard 5K, so get with Tri-State Fitness for that information, as wine might be involved! This weekend the 25th through the 28th is the St. Jude Marathon events and festivities. Always a good cause! Some of the Ultra runners are heading to the Backside Trail Marathon. Good luck to all, and have fun, if you are doing any of these races!
Have fun and be careful running out there!
