September 21, 2019

We're over half way through September, and still waiting on consistent cooler weather.  If you were training with Team 13, you ran 10 miles plus whatever distance you had for your training schedule.  First time Team 13 members, congrats on a double digit run!  Those of you that raced, some did the Owensboro Airshow Bridge 5K, others did one of the races by To The Finish.  The 5K in Fairfield, IL, or the Family of Faith 5K.  The marathoners from the group went to the Honest Abe Trail Run Marathon or 14K.  Some others went to the Heritage Trails Marathon, and then the group that ran the Sandia Crest Marathon in New Mexico. A special Congrats to Michelle Walker on completing Boston Qualifiers in all 50 states!   Congrats to all that ran their longest run or their race!

If you are training this weekend, Team 13 is going for an 11 mile run from Wesselmans, and the BOR group will again be joining the camaraderie and fun.  No cookie day this week, so pack your after training energy recharge.  The BOR will be starting at the Y again, and adding close to 8 miles if you want that much mileage, and if not Get whatever miles you want from the Park before and after the Team 13 training.  I'm not sure what the Loop Group is doing, so I am posting the summer loops from St. Paul's Church on the west side.

This weekend if you are in the racing mood, we have a couple of local races to choose from.  Tri-State fitness has the Farmer and Frenchman Winery 5K and there is the Heartland Half Marathon, 5K, Team Challenge, and Kids Fun Run (Jasper, IN) . In the afternoon, Rise Up and Run has an I Love Beer Run at Backstage Bar & Grill. A little farther away in Wabash IN, there is the Dash in the Bash 5K. On Sunday some marathon runners are going to the Quad Cities Marathon. For you Ultra runners, there is the Barkley Fall Classic, and Pier Pressure. Whatever you do, most importantly, Have Fun!

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!
