Saturday, October 11th

Sorry for the late post, still a little jet lagged. Some very impressive times last weekend at the Evansville ½ Marathon on what sounded like a perfect morning and on the new course, none of which matters if you don’t put in the work and show up to race. Great job everyone, and once again Congratulations to all the pacers for sacrificing your race to help make it a special day for others.

I had the pleasure to share what ended up being a very tough, although breathtaking at times, course in Utah, great run to Leah, Ted and Ellen! Promise a recap in the days to come.

Now for this week, know idea where everyone is in their training, taper, recovery so I am throwing out a 12 miler on the Eastside. From what I've heard it's time to move start time to 7:00. Comment below if you feel otherwise. 

See you Saturday!

Saturday, October 4th

First weekend of October, that can only mean one thing, well maybe a few things. Pumpkin Spice cake donuts, Munchie Maps and the Evansville Half Marathon! A new course this year which will present new challenges for all those running, but there is still not a better feeling than running "your" town, "your" neighborhoods, "your" streets! So come race day visit with your friends and fellow runners at the start line, take advantage of the familiarity of the course, tell your family and friends to make the effort and line that wall along the greenway, take pride in helping someone else reach a PR, maybe grab one for yourself, make the most of the morning!

Have a great run everyone.


What a weekend in racing this past week, great runs here and abroad. Congrats to those who took part in the Pumpkin Run, Otters Race, Wear the Cape, Wag/Walk and Race for the Cure. Congrats also to first time marathoners in Columbus and not so first timers in Berlin! Well done everyone.

Obvious Good Lucks to everyone running and pacing the half here at home, as well as the rest of the crew heading west to Utah, safe travels this week. Not posting an alternate route this week, if your not running the half go cheer, posting early and cutting it short this week...got a plane to catch.

Have a good week, rest up, see you next Saturday!

Saturday, September 27 **UPDATED**

Congratulations go out this week to everyone who ran the Chandler 8k Saturday and the Lincoln Trails and Air Force Marathonon Sunday! Looked like everyone had a great run and good times.

Lots of racing action to be had this weekend, Otters Race Saturday in Evansville, the Wag/Walk and Wear the Cape in Henderson, Pumpkin Run 5k in Poseyville and moving back to Sunday and to the Eastside the Komen Race for the Cure, and at least one person heading to Berlin..Safe travels!......Looks like the fall racing season is here!


Now for Saturday morning, at the time of posting I have yet to get the "Team 13" 8 mile route from the YMCA at 7:00, keep an eye out for updates if I get it. I have included an 8 mile run if anyone is interested in running at 6:00 or if getting in a few before Team 13 it can be cut short.

See you Saturday!
