November 7, 2020

Here we are, into the first Saturday of November, and the weather went from cool to warm again, so if you are one that likes the warm, this is for you!  Last weekend we had a nice route on the east side, and except for that one big hill both ways on Lincoln, it wasn't too bad.  Some were really into the Halloween spirit, and in full dress for the occasion!  Thanks Shari!  There were also a couple of local races, and I hope some of you got to test out your speed for the short distances.  Mom O Six, Michelle Walker found another marathon, this time in Michigan, and pulled another good time, in more ways than just running, with good sights, and friends.  The best part of running out of town races.  Congrats Michelle!

This weekend, Shari is leading the 812 group from Forefront Therapy, at 7 am.  She will have 3.25, 5.5, and 8 miles for your running pleasure.  For those that want a few more, Start out at the Y at 6:50 am, and run to Forefront on First St.  Then at Walnut and Kentucky, head east in the middle of the route to add more miles. Turn around where you want and get the miles you need.  The Loop Group will start at Garvin Park at 7 am, and run their loops from there.  Lots of options for miles you want.  Have fun!

I forgot to mention that the annual Ozanam Food Drive is coming up on November 21, at Ultimate Fit, at 7 am.  Some of the items needed are canned fruit, tuna, carrot.  Non Food items needed, deodorant, hair brushes, combs.



In local racing, Saturday, there is the, Relay Worship 4-Miler at Ethram White Park, in Bowling Green, KY.  There are still some of the virtual races to get in on, so find one you want, and get your race on!  See the sites below for info to sign up.
