August 8, 2020

We're now getting to the second week of August, and have had a few days that we wish would hang around until fall starts!  The lower temperatures and lower humidity are refreshing!  Don't get too used  to them, this is Southern Indiana!

Last weekend we followed Team 13 out to the West Side, in particular Burdette Park and USI trails.  The humidity and rolling hill were a challenge for many, but if you weathered it out, it made you much stronger for running!  A couple of our runners ran a real live race again, and it was another endurance race.  It was a 12 hour race in Shelbyville Kentucky.  Congrats to all that were able to compete and finish with their miles!

This weekend would have been the Y Series 5 or 10 K race, and  it is a virtual race, so I am posting possible routes to get your 5 or 10 K virtual race done.  They are provided by the race site with Team 13, 5K and 10K virtual race link  If you are not doing your virtual race this weekend, I am also posting a North Side 12 mile route.  Carry your water.

In racing, I don't see anything on the local schedules, but the EPD Swat Challenge is coming up next weekend, and it is also changed to a virtual 5 K, so get signed up for that one through, "To the Finish Timing".

Remember to get signed up for one of the virtual races that are going on, and there is still time to get in the Y Series races  leading up the the Half Marathon.  See the sights below for information.
