What a week! Back to the hot days of summer! It was a great morning for a 15K last Saturday, and lots of Team 13 new and experienced runners had a good race! We had a few Tri group running friends, Mike, Krista, Dana, and Reich, took on the Madison Tri Athlon, and finished in tough conditions! Miki and Big Sexy went to Missouri, and ran the Katy Trail 100K. There was also, the Born to Color, 5K Run/Walk, in Cynthiana. Congratulations to all that ran, and raced!
This Saturday, Team 13 meets at Wesselmans Park for the 10 mile run and famous annual Cookie day after the run! The BOR group will start at the Y for an 8 mile add on. If you want less, start early and do any combinations of the old and new 4 or 5 mile routes from the Wesselmans evening runs. That way you can spend more time eating cookies and snacks at the end! If you want to miss the cookies, you could also run the Loop Group routes from St. Paul's Church on the west side.
This weekend there are a few races for those interested. There is a 5K in Fairfield IL tomorrow for those looking for a mid week race. Look at To the Finish for info for this and one on Saturday, Family of Faith 5K on New Harmony road. Don't forget the Owensboro Airshow Bridge Run, by Rise up and Run. There are a few going to NM, for the Sandia Crest Marathon. On Sunday, there Is the Honest Abe Trail Run Marathon, 14K and 6K races at Lincoln State Park. There is also the Heritage Trails Marathon, in West Lafayette. It also has a Half Marathon, 15K and Quarter Marathon if interested. Have fun whether racing or training!
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!
