February 29, 2020

Here we are running on February 29th, and you can't say that often since it only come on leap year, so we get an extra day of training this month.  Many of us took advantage of another tasty end of run breakfast with the Pancake Days feast.  Thanks Shari for the routes again!   Glad we were able to support another good cause in a tasty way!  Some of us made it to the Ozanam Family Shelter fundraiser dinner and dance last Saturday for another great way to donate to a good cause!

This weekend, training starts for the Run Victoria 12 weeks of training, beginning at Ultimate Fit, Saturday at 7 am.  Thanks to the Ultimate fit crew for hosting the start of training for this race!  There will be 3 through 10 mile routes available for those wanting to join in.  The BOR group will meet at the Y for an out and back route to UF.  This is approximately and 11 mile route, and you can choose to run any of the routes from there, or whatever you preference is.  The Loop Group will meet at 7 am, on the West side at St. Boniface Church for a hilly bunch of loops.

This weekend in Racing, To The Finish has the Rockets Foundation, St. Mary's School Mardi Gras, 5 K and 10 K in Mt. Carmel IL.  If you want to tune up your racing skills, get signed up and drive over for that race.  If you are just training, get out there and work those miles, and enjoy!

As always, be courteous and thoughtful to the drivers, while running the streets!

Goal for 2020
Not to be Better Than Anyone Else,
