We made it through the 4th and this has been a hot week! Team 13 has now began, and a few from our group ran the RUTS Ultra for up to the 12 hour race. Congrats to those Crazy, Brave souls that took on the heat, and came back with medals! Many from the area raced the Patriot race, and looks like some good bling, and happy runners.
For those that aren't familiar with the BOR group, we train mostly for marathon or longer. I have always believed in the theory that running in groups keep your standards set higher. You can train with someone that sets a pace that will drive you to excel. We normally put out routes that exceed 12 miles, and will put out longer routes to accommodate the needs of those training for marathons. Everyone is welcome to join, and find a fit in the group that will work for them. In the warmer weather we start on Saturdays at 6 am, and in cooler weather will start out at 7 am. We generally meet at the Y Downtown and return there. On occasion, we will meet at the Team 13 Start point, and it will be posted at that time. If you are training for a marathon, please request the longer route that you plan to run that weekend per your schedule, and I will make one up to fit. Each week we have water stops and if you could help put one out, comment on the Facebook page as such.
We will start to follow Team 13 which starts at 7 am, on the routes, and if you would sign up for this great group, so that many youth will have activities to keep them busy. The BOR group will head west and back, join up with Team 13 then head north for a little longer route before heading back to the Y. Run, Walk 812 will have an add on to their group before or after Team 13. The Loop group will follow the planned routes Greg put out for the summer, starting from St. Pauls' church on the west side.
This weekend there is a race , by To The Finish, BG Gauntlet Mud Run at Phil Moore Park , Alvaton, KY. Chastity Hertel, and Sharon Carver, will be doing the Last Annual Vol State Road Race, starting tomorrow running 314 mile across Tennessee. Good Luck to them!
As always, be courteous and thoughtful to the drivers, while running the streets!
Goal for 2019
is Not to be Better Than Anyone Else,
But to be Better Than I Used to Be
