For some reason, I like the ring of October 10! Well, for those that were prepared, and ran the Y Virtual Half Marathon last weekend, I hope, like myself, you were happy with your time! After being laid up during last years half marathon, it was great to finish my first half marathon distance all year. For some reason, as I age, the heat and humidity affect my running more. There were lots of pictures posted from Saturday, so if you were out there, you should have found one of yourself.
This weekend, the BOR group will go back to following the Run Walk 812 group. We will start at the Y downtown, and run out to meet their group from Manna Mediterranean Grill, on Lincoln. Shari is putting out a 4, 7, and 9 mile route. If you are one running from the Y, and back, it is roughly 7 miles. You can then pick the distance from there, to get the mileage you want. The Loop Group will start up again this weekend, 7 am from the Old Armory, near UE ball fields.
In racing this weekend, it looks like the local race is, Run With the Yeti, at Angel Mounds, Saturday at 7 am. To the Finish has a 5K in Carmi Illinois, so look at their site for details on that one. There are still some of the long distance virtual races going on, so see if you can find one that meets your needs.
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!
