January 18,2020

Why is it every time I type 2020, I feel like I'm doing a news show or something??  Here we are just past the middle of January, and it seems like rain is the prevalent thing in our daily grind?  I'm not complaining, but I do like running in cold better than rain.  There are no local races to comment about from the last weekend, so training is all we have, and scheduling time around the previous subject.

This weekend, Run Walk 812 is moving to Sunday, starting from the parking lot across from Yoga 101 on Lincoln at 7 am.  The BOR group has their own choice about running in possible rain or waiting for a cold Sunday run.  I will post the routes, and if you want to carry water and possibly get wet, run it Saturday starting at 7 am from the Y, or start early Sunday from the Y and run to Yoga 101 and meet up with the 812 group.  The Loop group will Start Saturday at 7 am, from the DQ at Franklin and Second avenue.

This weekend in local races, you can get out there and run the Freekin Freezin Race at Deaconess Sports Park Sunday at 2 pm.  Get with Tri State Fitness if you haven't signed up yet.  Martha is in Hawaii doing a downhill race and hopefully the weather will cooperate with everyone running 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 2020
 Not to be Better Than Anyone Else,

But to be Better Than I Used to Be!
