Saturday morning proved to be almost perfect conditions for the Evansville Half Marathon and it showed in the times posted by all. Lots of age group and Series awards were taken home, Congrats to all the finishers for making it your day after all the hard work you put in over the last 13 weeks, wether you PR'd, paced, walked or ran, everyone that participated is what makes up this race and what makes this race so special.

........and then a Half is just the warm up for some, Congrats to the group who ran in Nashville Sunday at the Greenway Marathon and Congrats to Cathy D. on the second place female finish!

Weekend racing action this week includes the Celina Marathon/Half, Bedford Half, Hillside Harvest Hustle 5k, the Zombie 5k in Huntingburg, Candy Corn 5k in Carmi IL on Saturday and the Otters Race 5k on Sunday.

Fall Marathon season seems to really kick off this weekend with the Chicago Marathon, Good Luck to everyone heading North!

It's Tri time again, this weekend we head to Louisville, KY where another group looks to claim the Ironman title, Good Luck to everyone, you have put in the training now go grab whats yours on Sunday! Spectators post below for any carpool opportunities.

It was a very exciting Sunday this week in both running and triathlon action! Congrats to one of the newest to the group Lauren Minor on the overall female win in the Race for a Cure 5k and to Michelle L. on the pace work and Kendra and Kevin on another marathon finish at the Quad Cities Marathon.

Not to be left out was the big group who ran the Milwaukee Mini on Saturday, Great Run and it looked a Great weekend!

This was a huge weekend for the Tri's among us, first up, the one I failed to mention last week, the Augusta Half Ironman. Congratulations to Dave, Michelle W. and Chelsie on a great race!

Then it was Tennessee's turn in the Chattanooga Ironman, Congratulations to Kara , Matt, Steve and the rest of the SITT group on the Ironman finish! Both of these events still continue to amaze and impress me, the amount of training and time that it takes is unbelievable and they are very inspiring to witness. If you have not seen this take place in person you have the opportunity October 11th in Louisville to cheer on several of the BOR.

Big Saturday this week, one of Evansville's premier and biggest running events, as well as the final leg in the YMCA Series. Good luck to everyone running, walking and pacing! Should be a great morning.
