August 29, 2020

August is just about over, and the heat and humidity are back. Saturday may be a little cooler as it appears a cold front may come in with the remnants of the hurricane after Friday.

Last weekend Team 13 had an eight mile training day, and many enjoyed the past gone display of out of shape Team 13 runners. Hope everyone is doing well with their training! Some of you may have ran the, Back to the 80"s Race, and hopefully you had fun with that and ran your best! Michelle Walker was able to find a real marathon in South Dakota. Congrats on a BQ! With the Covid 19 problems for the year, we are forced to make a decision on whether to run the Y Series races virtual, defer until next year, or donate your money for the benefit of the Y programs. You have until August 31 to notify Meghan Craven of your decision.

This weekend, Team 13 is going for a 9 mile total long run, witch is split into 2 loops a 3 and 6 mile loop. to bring you back to your car for water. I will have a 5 mile add on route for those that want to get extra mileage before or after the Team 13 training.

In racing, there are always the different virtual races, as this would have been the 15K Y Series race. There is also an Azzip Fun Run at Garvin Park. Check out the sites below to find one of the races that meet your needs.
