December 28, 2019

Here we are, looking at the last weekend of 2019, and I hope everyone has started working on their New Year running goals!  I am for one looking forward to getting myself back to Half Marathon shape as soon as possible!  Last weekend, Ultimate fit had the toys for Ozanam shelter drive at the store, and it looked like it was a huge success!  Thanks to all that donated and made this toy drive a success!

This weekend, it looks like we are going west.  Run Walk 812 is starting from Howell Park at 7 am, with 4,6, 8 and 10 mile routes available.  The BOR group will start from the downtown Y at 6:30 am, an run to the west to join up with the 812 group.  The Loop Group will also be starting from the downtown Y at 7 am, and looping the area.

This week in racing, it looks like January 1, 2020, will be the Day 1 Run at 9 am, at Garvin Park.  Come out and start your New Year out with a race and carry that momentum on throughout the year!


I am all out of upcoming Marathons/Half's, and Ultra races, so send me some info on dates and times, if you are planning to run one in 2020. turbt48@aol.com

A Look ahead, on the evening of February 22, it's the 3rd annual Sweetheart Sock Hop to benefit needs at Ozanam. It will be held at the VFW post located at 110 Wabash Ave. Last year many of the runners came out to enjoy an evening of dancing for this good cause. Contact Danette Romines at, Osanam.dromines@gmail.com or 812 422 2214.

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!
