August 17, 2019

Wow!  Another hot week in August, and we just keep on trudging on.  There is nothing like toughing out the feel like 100 deg. days, so that when the weather finally cools, it is like a booster shot in the arm.  We look forward to those cool days so that we can really enjoy running again!  There were a few races to attend this past weekend, and hopefully if you wanted to race, you entered one of them.  Hopefully if you raced, you had a good time!

This weekend we will again follow Team 13, and this time they are starting at or favorite store, Ultimate Fit!  Cindy, Curt and the gang are sure to have some specials for everyone's needs.  We will start at the Y if you want good training mileage, and it will add 5.5 miles each way to the training run of 8 miles they are running.  If you are planning to start from Ultimate Fit at 6 for extra mileage, I'm sure you can come up with an out and back to meet your needs.  The Loop Group will again be starting from St. Paul's Church on the West side for their hilly or flat loops.

This weekend in the racing realm, Rise up and Run,  has the Braveheart 5K / 10 K Trail Run, at Angel Mounds on Saturday.  A few of the Ultra runners are going to Elizabethtown KY, The Backyard Classic 8 hour endurance run.  Cathy, Michele Darryl, Matt, and Dave are planning to run it.  Should be lots of miles from that great group of runners!  Good luck and have fun to all training or racing this weekend!

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
