January 16, 2021

Here we are at the second weekend of January, and the weather is pretty mixed.  It can't make up it's mind if it wants to be cold or warm.  It's a good mix, but hard to prepare for.  Last weekend, the group met up across from Yoga 101, with a good range of mileage options.  Hope everyone found one to get their desired mileage.

I am still looking for someone to take over the blog, and make it anything for runners that you want.  Reply back by PM or on the Facebook page.  Next weekend will be my final blog.

This weekend Run Walk 812 will meet up at Wolf's Barbeque lower parking lot on First Avenue at 7 am.  Shari will have routes ranging from 3 to 7 and maybe a 9 by then.  The Loop Group will be meeting up at the State Hospital near the Frisbee Golf course in the middle of the grounds. 

In local racing, some possible race dates are coming out for the future, but things are still up in the air, so check the sites below to confirm the races.

To The Finish Timing

Rise up and Run

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

Goal for 2021

Not to be Better Than Anyone Else,

But to be Better Than YOU Used to Be!

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! They will have all of the winter layering and cold weather gear you might need. With the earlier darkness, get your illumination gear, so everyone can see you coming while running the streets!
