Saturday, January 27th

The Big Thaw....slushy roads would not detour the masses, way to take advantage of the warming temperatures and get the long run in, and Congrats to our California friends who braved the 40 degree temps Sunday at the Pasadena Half Marathon!

Best of Luck this weekend to everyone running the the Snowflake Derby event out at USI, and those participating in the Indoor Triathlon/Duathlon at the Downtown YMCA on Sunday!

The Indoor Triathlon takes place at the Downtown YMCA on Sunday, January 28th from 6am to noon. It's a unique event to watch and is a great one to be a volunteer! 

Email to help out at lejman@ymcaswin.org

Below is the 12, 14 or 16 mile option out on the Eastside, 7:00 from the Downtown YMCA, enjoy this last Saturday of January as we gear up for marathon season and get ready for whatever February throws at us.

See you Saturday!

Saturday, January 13th

Congrats go out to everyone that braved the cold last Saturday morning whether it was the Resolution Run or Group run and those that hit the trails on Sunday, hopefully everyone thaws out this week and we get back to some normal temps. 

It was a good turnout Thursday night at Ultimate Fit for the "Give a Mom a Marathon" Book Signing/Q & A by our own Michelle Walker, if you weren't able to make it out I'm sure she would be happy to sign a copy for you, maybe a Saturday Starbucks Signing???

Best of Luck this weekend to everyone running the Snowflake Derby at USI, Houston Marathon and Louisiana Marathon!

For the rest, below is an Eastside 12 and 14 mile option, cut shorter if needed, I guess we will see what Mother Nature has in store for us this weekend!

See you Saturday!
