February 1, 2020

New month, new goals!  February is here, and there may be some rain again.  The past weekend there were no running races locally, but the Y sponsored an indoor Triathlon, and many came out to get in the fun of competing and volunteering.  Congrats to those that enjoyed the fun and brought home the bling!

This weekend the BOR group will join up with Run Walk 812 at Forefront Therapy on 1st street.  Shari will have 3,6, and 8 mile routes, and I will have a 4 mile add on to bump the mileage up to 12 for those training long.  812 will meet at 7 am, and the BOR group will meet at 7:50 at the Y, or earlier if you want to get to Forefront earlier.  The Loop Group will meet at 7 am, at Central High, parking lot off of First Ave, North of the tennis courts.

It looks like another week of lull in the local races, so keep working hard for when things fire back up!  Whatever you do, enjoy your time with friends while getting those training miles in!

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!
