Saturday, June 25th

Congrats to everyone that braved the heat and ran the Laufenfest 5k and the Street Strut 5k on Saturday morning and the Beer Run Saturday afternoon, judging by the trash cans along Main Street that were full of Coors Light cans it was a major success, if you missed out your next shot is October when the Beer Run moves to Franklin Street.

You have to drive a little to get the racing in this weekend, but Good Luck to any heading to Celestine IN for the Celestine Street Fest 5/10k, the Take Down Leukemia 5k in Rockport and the Zombie 5k in Princeton.

Below is an Eastside Run for Saturday morning, cut or add as needed, don't forget the 6:00am start time and be sure to check out the Team 13 Open House when you get back to the Y, the Jump Start group has been huge this year and I expect big numbers for Team 13 as well, I will start incorporating the route as best I can in the weeks to come.

See you Saturday!

Saturday, June 18th

A big Congrats to everyone who ran the Colon Run on what was a hot sticky Saturday morning, and to everyone who braved the hot June night and kicked serious butt in Puducah at the Run Under the Stars endurance race.

Sunday was all about the altitude out west, Congrats to the big group that ran the Revel Rockies Marathon in Denver. Enjoyed seeing the great pictures and even better running, including some PR's, way to represent the Tri-State area, also great to see somewhat of a BOR reunion with one of our now Colorado residents.

Best of Luck this weekend to everyone running the Laufenfest 5k in Haubstadt and the Street Strut 5k as part of the Handy Fest in Henderson on Saturday morning and to those doing the Beer Run Downtown Saturday afternoon, make sure you have a designated running buddy, have a good time and a safe run, and to anyone hitting the road for the Grandma's Marathon, Leadville and Rock 'n Roll Seattle.

Well it's that time of year again, with the recent heat and humidity we will move the Saturday start time back to 6:00 am from the Downtown YMCA, this week I have included a 16 mile route on the Northside, should be able to easily cut out a chunk if needed. Hope everyone has a Happy Father's Day Weekend!

See you Saturday!

Congrats to everyone who completed the Howl at the Moon Night Trail run last Friday night and the Get Dirty Mud Fun Run, the Grillin & Chillin 5k and the Go! Missouri KT82 Trail Relay on Saturday!

There was even a rare sighting in her native environment of the elusive Mom O Six, thanks Jen for your quick thinking and cat like reflexes and camera skills.

Good Luck to everyone running the Colon Screening for Life 5k Saturday morning and the next in series, Run Under the Stars in Paducah, KY Saturday night.
