December 5, 2020

December is here, and the cooler weather is back.  It's been a long year, or at least seems like it.  The pandemic has taken a turn for the worse, and we all need to buckle down, or I should say mask up.  With lots of luck, the vaccine should be around soon, and maybe things will begin to loosen up a little.  Last weekend it was a downtown run, and everyone seemed to enjoy the run.

This weekend, the BOR will start at the Y at 6:15, and run to meet up with Run Walk 812 at Wesselmans.  812 will start at 7 and Shari has 4, 6, and 10 mile routes.  The Loop Group will start out at the Y downtown this week, at 7 am, with loops adding up to 10.11 miles.

In local racing, it looks like everything is still pretty locked up with the virus.  Look at the sites below to figure out what virtual races you can get in on, and when live races are available.

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!
