There was only one local race this week, with the Day 1 Run, at Garvin Park. From the few pictures posted on Facebook, there were quite a few runners able to get up and make this race. Congrats to all that did and met their goal for the race.
This weekend the BOR will start at the downtown Y at 6:20 am, and run to meet Run Walk 812 at the old Roberts stadium parking lot. Shari will have routes for 2,4,6, and 8 miles available, starting at 7 am. The Loop Group will start from the small parking lot at the State Hospital, just off Lincoln at 7 am.
This weekend in racing, Saturday will be the Resolution Run at Wesselmans at 9 am, with a 5, 10, 15K and 1 mile kids run to compete in. To the Finish will be putting this race on. Get out there and pick a distance that is right for your current training ability! Whether training or racing, have fun out there!
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!
Not many pictures for the week, so I will post all I find next week.
