February 8, 2020

We begin week two of the second month of this year, and I hope everyone is taking advantage of the cold temps to ramp up their training!  No races to report on for last weekend, so all must be good!

This weekend in training we will be going East!  The BOR group will start at the Y at 6:15 am, and run to Wesselmans Park to meet up with Run Walk 812.  They are starting at 7 am and Shari has 4, 6, 8, and 10 mile routes to keep you going from there.  The Loop group will meet at the Vectren parking lot between Vine and Court street at 7 am.

This weekend in local racing we have the USI, Hearts on Fire 5 K, on Saturday at 9 am.  In Ultra races, there is Lovin the Hills 50 and 100 K races in Louisville KY.  If you are racing, have fun out there, and your race will be good!

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

The weekend of February 22, the Y and The Dream Center are teaming up to put on the Annual Pancake Days, and Team 13 is having a reunion run from Garvin Park, with the end leading to eating Pancakes.  What could be better!  Watch for more information on that in the BOR and 812 posts to come.

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!
