Saturday, May 7th

What Rain? The inclement weather would not stand in any one's way last weekend, Congratulations to everyone that put'em on and got a lot wet, whether is was a marathon, half marathon, 8k, 5k or a training run, we had age group winners and first timers here at home, Illinois, Nashville, Louisville, Cincinnati and Pittsburgh.....way to represent!

Good Luck this weekend to those running the SWAT Challenge here, the 4 Miles for 4H in Boonville, the Run for the Roses in Henderson, the Strolling Jim Marathon and other races everywhere!

Couple of options this week, an Eastside run below or the River Run Training, which is also a Eastside run this week from Yoga 101, for those wanting to join the River Run training and start from the Y for additional mileage, head out Walnut to Boeke to Lincoln to Yoga 101 (approx. 3.5 mi.) for the 9 mile run and then run back to the Y. Whatever you decide, have a great run and a great Mother's Day weekend!.

See You Saturday!

Congrats to everyone on another big weekend of racing, those who ran the St. Jude's Heroes and Color Run at home, those who started on Saturday and finished on Sunday at RUTS Marion, Ill, those who ran the Glass City Marathon/Half Marathon, and to the one who ran the London Marathon, completing the last of the 6 Majors.....what a weekend!

Good Luck this weekend to those running the Newburgh Rivertown Trail 5k/8k, the March of Dimes Run for Babies and IASF Walk & 5k here at home, Girls on the Run 5k in Jasper, and those hitting the road for the Illinois Marathon/Half, Derby Fest Marathon/Half in Louisville, St. Jude Rock 'n Roll Marathon/Half in Nashville and the Pittsburgh Marathon/Half!

For those staying put this weekend, the River Run Training moves Downtown with a 10 mile run from the Old Courthouse at 7:00am, (see note below for parking instructions from Scott Culver, contact if interested in volunteering) as always lot of giveaways and fun will be had. I have also included a Westsider below for those not wanting to join the River Runners.

See you Saturday!

*******VERY IMPORTANT******

Saturdays River Run Training will be at the Old Courthouse. As you know parking is an issue. They are opening the Courthouse for our use of the bathrooms, but I am asking that we do not park in the lot on Court Street & 6th. That will remain open to Y members that need to workout.

There are plenty of spots available from 2nd and Vine, all of Vine and the City parking garage at 5th and Sycamore. We will be starting at the Old Courthouse so no need to park on Court or 6th Street.  Please, Please abide by this request. I am looking for 2 volunteers to help with parking Saturday at 6:30 am. I have one so far. Thanks, Scott

Keep an eye on Facebook for updates and route information!

I'm sure some were afraid that this weeks post would be nothing but wedding pictures...not going to do that to you.

An extended weekend of racing this week, lots of great running, pacing and relay action, with the Carmel Marathon Weekend, the River to River Relay and the 5K on the Runway.

Monday brought the Boston Marathon  and the Tri-state area was once again very well represented. Congrats to everyone on a great race and for providing some Monday morning entertainment.

Good Luck to everyone running the St. Jude Give Hope Run and the Color Me Fun Run 5k here at home and to those hitting the road.

For those staying put and not resting, the River Run Training heads East once again to Ultimate Fit, with tons of giveaways, the other option is an Eastside run below.

See you Saturday!     

Okay, maybe one more wedding picture......

Thanks so much for all of the Congrats and Well Wishes.
