January 25, 2020

January is nearing it's end, and the weather is feeling more like it should be, with the exception of the rain, which seems to mess up the Saturday long runs!  Like any true runner, we will get the run in one way or another.  Last weekend we had the Freekin Freezin race at the Deaconess Sports Park, and lots of people braved the cold to enjoy it.  There were more than I had heard that ran in Hawaii this past weekend.  It was good to see the group that ran get together for some photos and fun!  Michelle W and  Allen, Martha and her friend Vivian, and Eric and Sandy.  Congrats to all that participated and had fun or met their goal and to those that placed in their races!

This weekend we will venture to USI, where Run Walk 812 will meet behind the daycare center at 7 am.  The BOR group has their choice to start at Burdette at the Discovery Lodge, or at USI.  You can take the route backward or forward.  The Loop Group will meet again at 7 am at the DQ on Franklin street.

This weekend in racing, it looks like no races are on the schedules, so get out there and train hard for when the schedule picks up again!

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!
