March 9, 2019

Here we are in the second weekend of March 2019, and a cold weeks beginning we felt!  Hope those racing and training had a good weekend last week!  We had the Pioneer Spirit Dash, and USI, Run Into Madness 7K locally this past weekend, and a few out of town races by some in the group.  Hope everyone had a good race.  It looks like Michelle Walker deserves a big Congrats for getting back in her groove with another state marathon BQ at Rhode Island.

This weekend we have a good group going and running LBL, with lots of options for racing.  Still watching the water levels for determination of how much will be trail and road racing.  I hope to make it there Saturday morning for some spectating and maybe a little training.  Cathy Downes goes for her 100th marathon or better race, so there will be a celebration! No trails for me though.  If you plan to go, and maybe need to carpool, post it on the Facebook page for someone to hook up a ride with.  Most racing, will go the night before and stay there locally.  There is also the Blue Grass Dash, at Blue Grass Church, 14200 Petersburg Rd. Evansville, IN 47725,  if you want a short close race.

The BOR group will join the Peace Run and Harmony training this week meeting at Wesselmans for a 5 or 7.25 mile route.  We will start from the Y as usual about 6:15 am so we can be there at 7 am for their start.  You can do an out and back for just over 8 miles, or run with the group for 7 miles and back for a little over 15.4 miles.  If you want a 13.25 route, run the Peace Run and Harmony 5 mile route with the out and back from the Y.  Lots of options here.  Water will be at the park, and on Bayard Park dr..

Goal for 2019
Not to be Better Than Anyone Else,

Moving right along, into the first week of March!  Hoping everyone had a good run or race last weekend!  There were some local and out of town racing going on, with Bound the Mound, and Cowtown, Louisville, Anthem 5 K, even a Disney race.  I ran in the mud, and only wanted half of the Half Marathon. (Old guys are less tolerant to bad conditions)

Cathy and Liesl took places at Bound the Mound. Ken McDonald and Aleksey Klenk, were among the Louisville racers, Brian Kirkpatrick made it to Cowtown, and Ellen Adler went down to run a Disney Fairy Tale race.  We get around!

There was a good turnout for the Ozanam Family Fundraiser.  Good food and dancing made for a fun evening for a good cause!  I'm sure next year will be another chance to enjoy!

This weekend we have races with: Pioneer Spirit Dash @ Boonville High School, and Run Into Madness 7K @ USI.  The BOR group will again join the 6 mile training for Peace Run and Harmony.  They will start at 7:00 am, at Forefront Therapy on 1st street downtown.  We will add on another 6 miles to make a total of 12 for our long run.  It can be cut short anywhere in the middle to get back to the Y downtown.  The Loop Group will meet at Newburgh Lock and Dam at 7:00 am.

  Goal for 2019
 Not to be Better Than Anyone Else,
But to be Better Than I Used to Be

This year keeps moving on, and we're on month 2 week 3.  It was another cold long run last Saturday, but we dodged the bullet on the snow and ice.  The miles went on for many, and after the run, pancakes at the Y for a few.  I know that I had my share!  

Looks like a few of our group made it out of town for races this past weekend too.  Martha and Laura ran in Maryland for the George Washington race, and saw some hills.  Drew and his band of Merry Women, were at Flora-Bama, and celebrated Sally's Birthday, meeting up with Jeff and Leah Alvey for the fun.  I was considering that race, but missed the bus, and all the fun that goes with that group! Congrats to Drew on his Grand Master win at the Sea Turtle Half in Gulf Shores!  Michelle Moreland Walker ran the El Paso Marathon, and placed 1st in her age group!  Congrats Michelle!

This weekend we have a couple of things going.  Don't forget to sign up and run the Bound the Mound race on Saturday, and if not racing, the BOR group will meet up with the Peace Run Harmony group at Ultimate fit again.  I'm sure Curt, Cindi, and Jim Bush will have lots of good deals and giveaways to those joining the training!  There is an 11 mile, and 16 mile route posted along with the 5 mile route from PRH.  The Loop Group is taking time off to put on Bound the Mound, so volunteer or race there!

On a sad note, we lost one of the group this past weekend, Steven Titzer passed away in his sleep.  Our heartfelt sympathy and prayers go out to those in his family and close to him!  I personally didn't know Steven, but saw him running in the group and at Tri events.  I am told that he was a faithful servant to God, and an outright good person.  He will be missed!
https://obits.courierpress.com/obituaries/courierpress/obituary.aspx?n=steven-titzer&pid=191582466&fhid=10662&f=portal

If you haven't bought tickets for the Sock Hop in support of the Ozanam Family shelter on Saturday, contact Bradley, or Jeffrey Hayden for information and tickets.  Looks like a fun group will be going from the BOR.  It will be at the VFW post on Wabash Ave. $25 a person. A chicken dinner will be provided with your ticket.  

o Doors Open – 5 p.m.
o Dinner Served – 6:30 p.m.
o Music/Dance – 7:30 – 10:30 p.m.
o Silent Auction closes – 8 p.m.
o Chance Auction closes – 8:30 p.m.

There will be a cash bar to get you out on the dance floor. We will also have auctions and half pots. I know $25 is a steep price for a chicken dinner, but this is a fundraiser. At least $12 from that ticket sale will go straight to the Shelter!
