December 19, 2020

 For those counting, it's the third Saturday of December, and Christmas is fast approaching, along with the end of 2020.  Can I get a big Amen on that!  Last weekend, for BOR, the start and finish of training was at the Downtown Y.  Run Walk 812, started at Mesker, and some deferred until Sunday with the threat of rain.  The Loop Group met at Wesselmans.

This weekend, we will assemble around outside Ultimate Fit for the annual Ozanam Family Shelter Toy Trot Drive.  Run Walk 812 And the Loop Group will meet at 7 am.  Ultimate Fit will open at 8, and there are different length routes to run, and at the end, come in and shop for your running needs.  Jeff and Brad Hayden should have vehicles there at the beginning to load your Christmas gifts in.  Plan to Social Distance.  Come out and support a great cause at this time of need!

If you find mistakes in this post, sorry, experiencing battery charging issues, and rushed to get it done.

Goal for 2020

Not to be Better Than Anyone Else,

But to be Better Than YOU Used to Be!

Remember to shop local, and support our favorite running and fitness store. Curt, Cindi, and the Ultimate Fit team will help you get to and through your training and racing needs! They will have all of the winter layering and cold weather gear you might need. With the earlier darkness, get your illumination gear, so everyone can see you coming while running the streets!
