November 9, 2019

Weekend number 2 of November, and lots going on for many in the group.  Last weekend there were a few local races, and then some went to NY for a marathon!  Congratulations to all that raced and met their goals!

The weather is getting cooler, and the running times are feeling more comfortable for running.  When it gets cold, times usually come down!

This weekend we will just meet with Run Walk 812 at USI, by the children's at 7 am.  The trails from there to Burdette Park are nice and hilly, great for training!  If you want, start at Burdette Lodge.  The Loop Group will meet for their loops from the Old Newburgh Lock and Dam area also at 7 am.

Don't forget to save your canned goods for the food drive for Ozanam shelter on November 23, at Ultimate Fit.

In racing this weekend we have a local race at Audubon Park, the Wag, Run or Walk 5K, by, To The Finish.  Out of town, the Monumental Marathon is Saturday, and the much trained for Tunnel Hill 50 and 100 mile Ultra Marathons.  We have many from out group, and from all around the country running in Southern Illinois.  If you are not doing much this weekend, bring some warm clothes and watch what it takes to push the envelope!  There are many opportunities for volunteers.  For more information, https://www.durbinracemanagement.com/#!  Whether racing, training, or watching, have fun this weekend!

As always, be courteous and thoughtful to the drivers, while running the streets!

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

Well here we are jumping head first into November! The weather took a nosedive, and it feels like winter already! It was snowing for a few minutes today, and that made it feel even colder with the wind blowing so hard!

Last weekend there were a couple of local races and a few from the Band made it out to marathons, knocking out states on their list to get all 50. Congratulations to all that raced and braved the conditions to, Get it Done! Those not racing put the training day off a day to avoid the rain of Saturday. Hope everyone of you Fair Weathered runners had fun!

This Saturday the BOR will break from Run Walk 812 who is running east from Wesselmans, and is going north to Central and back for 12 miles. The Loop Group is starting from my favorite place, Donut Bank on Lincoln and 41 for their loops.

Don't forget to save your canned goods for the food drive for Ozanam shelter on November 23, at Ultimate Fit.

October 26, 2019

We are closing out October the coming week, and the weather is more like my kind of weather!  Cooler!  I am a little jealous, seeing all of the running posts on Facebook, but happy for my running family of friends!  Keeping it short again this week, as my computer time is still limited from the neck brace and tingling hands.  I am improving daily, but have more time to go.  With Gods blessings I am sure that he will give me the ability in time to get myself back on the road.

This weekend we will join Run Walk 812 and extend the run farther east.  812 is starting at the old Y entrance and going east and back for up to 7.5 miles.  The BOR route will pick up from the farthest end of the 812 route, adding 5.3 miles to that.  The Loop Group is meeting at Central High for their starting point for the loops.  Keep an eye out for details of Run Walk 812 and the Loop Group for which day they are meeting.  It looks to be a wet Saturday which will shift days for some groups.

As always, be courteous to the drivers on the road, and Have a Great Time!

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