August 3, 2019

Would you look at this!  We are into the first weekend of August, and right in the middle of the hot spell.  Last weekend we had a couple of local races, one in Jasper, the Parklands six hour endurance run, Night Fever which is part of a series at Angel Mounds, and Night Flight, at USI.  Then there was the group that traveled to Washington to run the Jack and Jill marathon.  Congrats to all that ran, and to the Marathoners that did so well in Washington!

This week we will have a 12 mile training run, but most will be doing the Y series 5/10 K race downtown.  If you are not racing or volunteering for the race, there is also the Loop Group routes on the West side at St. Paul's Church.

This weekends races are The Y 5/10k downtown starting on the Court street side of the Y at 7 am.  Packet pickup is at Party Central on Vine street from 10 am to 6 pm, on Friday, and 5:30 to 6:30 am Saturday before the race.  There is also the Brat Trot 5 k at Germania Maennerchor starting at 8 am.  Check with Rise up and Run for packet and race information.  There is also the Watermelon run in Owensville.  The 4 mile and 2 mile walk / run start at 8 am, and the 1/4 mile kids race starts at 9.  Whether racing or training, have fun out there.

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
