Last Saturday we had a wet but successful food drive at Ultimate fit for the Ozanam Family Shelter! Thanks to everyone that came out to donate and to those brave souls that ran in the rain! I don't have any races from last weekend to report on, so I hope everyone was able to get in a good training run!
For those that are running a Pre-Turkey Day meal race, burn those calories off and enjoy your meal, and for those that plan to consume way more than you run, I will post a 30 mile post Thanksgiving training run!
This weekend we will follow the Run Walk 812 group to the west. They are meeting at Mesker Parking lot at 7 am, and have a 4 mile and a longer run for those interested in those options. The BOR group will meet at 6:20 am and run to Mesker, and run the 4 or longer run and then return to the Y. This will give you around 11.5 miles, or around 16 miles if you do the long run from Mesker. The Loop Group will start at 7 am on Friday, Saturday, or Sunday to miss the rain.
This weekend in Racing, Starting Thanksgiving day, the Goodwill Turkey Day 5K starting near the Double Tree with late registration starting tomorrow at 6:30 am, and race time at 8 am. There is also the Robinson High School, Turkey Trot 5K in Robinson IL, starting at 9 am. Get with, To the Finish for information about this race. Saturday at Angel Mounds, you can Run with the Yeti at 8 am. Check with Rise up and run for more info on this race. Whether training or racing to keep those extra pounds off this weekend, have a great time, and hopefully enjoy some family time!
There is a tentative date of December 21 for the Annual BOR, Run Walk 812, and any other running group that wants to attend, Christmas toy drive and Breakfast. Ultimate Fit is again providing the meeting place for the drop off and training run, and the Breakfast will either be at Friendship diner or Carrousel Restaurant, once reservations are confirmed.
As always, be courteous and thoughtful to the drivers, while running the streets!
