Whoa....where to begin this week! Congrats to Karen, Matt W. and Matt G. on their Columbus Marathon finish, great job! Michele Walker did it again, Baltimore Marathon Saturday and Atlantic City Marathon Sunday, is that 13 for the year? And what an amazing day for the newest Ultramarathon Man Dave Nichols on his 50 mile run at the Nashville Ultra, cannot wait to hear (read, hint hint) about this experience. I ran 5 miles and ate frozen yogurt Saturday....gezzzz, I gotta get on the road!

Figured we are all over the charts this week as far as mileage goes so below are 3 options to aid recovery or taper away, 12, 10 & 8 miler, and I think after this weekend we'll be safe to switch back to 4 mi. water stops for the fall/winter.

Good Luck to all those heading to St. Louis for the Rock n' Roll Marathon and to those staying home running the Ray Rahl 5k Saturday or the Sunset Sprint Sunday.

See you Saturday!

 WoW, what a weekend!! A lot of great runs both here in the Evansville 1/2 and in Chicago! And more to come this week. Good Luck to those heading off to the Columbus Marathon this Sunday and to Dave Nichols heading down to Nashville Saturday for the 50 mile ultra! And it looks like Michelle Walker is off again, Baltimore on Saturday & Atlantic City on Sunday!

We'll have a Fall Re-cap once all are done and one big  BOR "Post Race" Party!

I have posted an 8 mile route below for those tapering for St. Louis, or recovering from races, figure you can add any additional needed downtown.

"You're running on guts. On fumes. Your muscles twitch. You throw up. You're delirious. But you keep running because there's no way out of this hell you're in, because there's no way you're not crossing the finish line. It's a misery that non-runners don't understand."    - Martine Costello

And that's just running down Franklin Street this week! Many are heading North to Chi Town this weekend to take on the 2nd City, I have listed below the one's who have sent me their bib numbers, should be a big group and a good time. Good Luck to everyone!!

Another big race weekend at home as well, Good Luck to all doing the Y Evansville 1/2 Marathon Sunday, should be a good weekend.

For those skipping the 1/2 and continuing training I've included a 12 mile route staying away from the festival, looks like if you turn left on Vann to Bellemeade it would make it closer to 8 miles, hope it helps, have a good start to the taper.

Congrats this week go to Michelle Walker for pulling another Double!! New Hampshire on Saturday and Maine on Sunday, the only double I plan this weekend is a double dip cone! Great Job Michelle!

See you next Saturday.
