April 6, 2019

Where is the year going?  We are into the first week of April, and about a month from the Peace Run and Harmony Half!  For those counting, Boston is just a couple of weeks away.  For those that ran Saturday with the training group, you might have had to run between the raindrops.  Those that waited til Sunday, had to put the tights and warmer clothes back on. Thanks to Jim Bush, and Cindi and Curt for being there for everyone both mornings, and having giveaways, and discounts to boot!   Looking through the pictures from the, Southern Illinois Spring Classic, few from our area ran this race, but a good crowd came to race.  Congrats to the few that raced, Run the Bluegrass!

This week it looks like, To the Finish, has a race at Friedman Park in Newburgh, The Hopefest, and Hope Run 5K, so if you want a race, get signed up and run it!  Good luck to Martha and Laura running the Coffee Milk Marathon in Rhode Island on Sunday!

The training run this Saturday will be at Yoga 101 on Lincoln Avenue, and will be 10 miles, so if that is all you want, just join up with them at 7.  If you want more, start at the Y and add 7 more miles for the out and back.  If you start at the Y, you will need to leave early enough to give yourself time to get 3.5 mile in before the 7 am start there.  There will probably be extra miles posted for those wanting to meet at Yoga 101.  The Loop Group will meet at the small parking lot near Lincoln at 7:00 am Saturday.  Have fun out there on the roads, and as always run cautiously!

March 30, 2019

The month is nearing its end, and the spring weather is slowly warming us up!  Last weekend we had a few good races locally, with the Mystery Race at Garvin Park, Beat Beethoven in Paducah, Wendell Foster Half marathon in Owensboro, and one that I forgot to mention in Louisville KY, being the Papa John 10 miler.  There were a few at the Mystery Race, and all seemed to enjoy it, with some locals getting some bling to take home.  Congrats to them and anyone else that raced!  Those that didn't race, looked like they came out in good numbers for the Peace Run and Harmony training at Forefront Therapy.  Thanks to Jim Bush, and Forefront for providing the Place to meet!

This week it looks like there is a, To the Finish race in Lawrenceville IL, Saturday, called the Southern Illinois Spring Classic at Parkside Elementary School.  There is a Half Marathon, 5K and Kids Half Marathon.  If you are looking for a race, I'm sure this will be fun!

This weekend the Peace Run and Harmony training will be at Ultimate Fit again, 7:00 am with a 9 mile run and lots of giveaway's from Jim Bush, and Curt and Cindi's Ultimate fit team.  There is also a 5 mile add on if anyone wants a few more.  The Loop Group will start at the State Hospital parking lot just off of Lincoln at 7 am.  Have fun out there!

March 23, 2019

Here we are heading into the fourth Saturday of March.  Last Saturday was a good cool day for the Run Of Luck, The USO 10 miler, and training.  The Run of Luck had some of the brightest green outfits this side of Ireland!  Hope everyone had a good time running and dressing up for this one, and enjoying the beer at the end!

This weekend we have Beat Beethoven in downtown Paducah, the Mystery Race at Garvin park in Evansville, and the Wendell Foster Half Marathon in Owensboro, Ky.  Depending on what kind of distance and place you want to run, all venues should be fun!

This Saturday the training long run will join up with the Peace Run and Harmony training again at Forefront Therapy.  The BOR can start out at the Y downtown at 6:50, and run to Forefront on First Street, off of Vine.  The PRH group will be doing 8 miles, and we will add a 4 and 6 mile add on for those wanting 12 and 14 miles.
