This past weekend we had the 11 mile training run for Team 13, and congrats to all that made it! It was a big accomplishment for those that had never ran that far. Those that raced, locally ran the Back to the 80's Race, with a 4 or 8 mile choice. It looked like there were many dressed up for the festive race. Those that had a chance, ran the Firecracker 5K Challenge in Grayville Il. Our good friend Kendra venture out of town to run the Tupelo Marathon in Mississippi. Whether you raced, or just trained, I'm sure you had fun!
This weekend, on Saturday, the Y steps up the series to the 15K part of the series. This race will test your longer distance racing skills, and with the help of pacers, will help you figure out how to run a longer race, if this is your first at this distance. If you are not up for racing, the BOR route will be a 12 mile to the North, from the Y to Central and back. The Loop Group will also have the summer routes to fall back on from St. Paul's Church on the westside.
Racing this weekend, has three local races, with the Y, 15K, along with 1 other race put on by, To the Finish Timing. This race is in Cynthiana KY, with the Born to Color Run/Walk 5K. If you want to race, and this weekend looks to be good and cool for that, get with the Y or To the Finish to get signed up. Whatever you do, whether race or train, have a great weekend!
As always, be courteous and thoughtful to the drivers, while running the streets!
Goal for 2019
is Not to be Better Than Anyone Else,
