December 26, 2020

 Merry Christmas to everyone!  Hopefully by this time you have had a great Christmas morning!  I got my annual supply of coal, so what can I say?😒  The year is winding down, and by next weekend we will be into 2021.  Glad to see this year gone!  

Last weekend, we met up at Ultimate Fit, for the annual Ozanam Toy Drive, and thank you all for your generosity to this great charity.  

This weekend, we will meet up with Run Walk 812 at Wesselmans Park at 7 am, where Shari will have her usual routes for everyone to run.  I posted the last used routes from there, so check with Shari in the morning to see if routes are different.  The Loop Group will meet up for their loops starting from Mesker Park parking lot on Wimberg and Mesker at 7 am.

Not knowing when the live races will get going again, but hopefully soon, I will share the links of the local race directors to give you a chance to find the latest racing information.

Tri State Fitness

To The Finish Timing

Rise Up And Run

Enjoy your run, and 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 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!
