May 4, 2019

Where is this year going? It is the first weekend in May, and the trees are green and flowers are blooming! Some of you were able to get out and race the last weekend, and others put in their miles on the road, and it was good weather to do either. Some raced the, St. Jude Give Hope 5K, the Tri-Fest 5k, the Run the Vineyard 5K, Big Sur, and others raced the St. Jude Marathon in Nashville, and the Backside Trail Marathon. Hope you were able to run your best! A special thanks to Sue Henderson for raising over $62,000 for St. Jude!

This weekend if you aren't running one of the Peace Run and Harmony races, the BOR route will be starting at the Y at 7 am Saturday, and running East. Water stops will be up to those running, and if you prefer, just carry your own. The Loop Group will be starting their loops from Lamasco park at 7 am Saturday.

This week, of course we have Peace Run and Harmony events, with the 5k and kids run on Saturday, and the Quarter and Half Marathon on Sunday. Check out the times and bib pick-up places and times on the, Rise up and Run website. The EPD Foundation SWAT Challenge 5K, and Bringing Fitness 2 Life EVSC 5K, are put on by, To the Finish, so look at their website for information about those events. Aleksey Klenck is heading to Pittsburgh for a marathon, and some are heading to the Strolling Jim Ultra marathon. If you're racing any of the races, or if I missed one, be sure to have fun and run your best! Those not racing, just have fun and be safe out on the roads!

Goal for 2019
Not to be Better Than Anyone Else,
