May 18, 2019

We're past halfway into the month of May, and the days are starting to heat up more and more.  Last weekend we had the Newburgh Rivertown 5 and 8K races, and Girls Run the World 5K.  The pictures looked like everyone had fun, and a few brought home the bling!

This weekend it looks like everyone wants to go West!  Run, Walk 812 is starting from Howell Park at 7am, the Loop Group is starting from Helfrich school at 7 am, and the BOR group is starting from the Y at 6 to 6:15 am, depending on how fast you plan on running.  We will join up with Walk Run 812 at Howell, and run part of the time with that group.  Shari has a 6 and 8 mile route available, and Greg has loops giving you between 3 and 13 miles approximately.  The BOR will offer an 8, 12, and 14.4 mile routes.  All have hills, and hills are good training, repeat this again, Hills are good training!  Ha Ha!

 On a new note, Jump Start is gearing up for the year, so if you know someone wanting to change their life for the better, and help out the orthopedic medicine field, tell them about Jump Start which begins May 21st, and the YMCA program!

Races coming up this weekend are, Just Imagine 5K Noble Park, 2915 Park Ave, Paducah KY, by To the Finish, and RedHawks Armed Forces Day 5K @ Evansville National Guard Armory, by Rise up and Run. If you are thinking about going Ultra, Go to Oak Ridge Tennessee this weekend and try one of these races as they are offering different hour times and lots of fun! These races should be fun, and you should run one of them!

As always, be safe and courteous running the roads!


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