February 8, 2020

We begin week two of the second month of this year, and I hope everyone is taking advantage of the cold temps to ramp up their training!  No races to report on for last weekend, so all must be good!

This weekend in training we will be going East!  The BOR group will start at the Y at 6:15 am, and run to Wesselmans Park to meet up with Run Walk 812.  They are starting at 7 am and Shari has 4, 6, 8, and 10 mile routes to keep you going from there.  The Loop group will meet at the Vectren parking lot between Vine and Court street at 7 am.

This weekend in local racing we have the USI, Hearts on Fire 5 K, on Saturday at 9 am.  In Ultra races, there is Lovin the Hills 50 and 100 K races in Louisville KY.  If you are racing, have fun out there, and your race will be good!

I am all out of upcoming Marathons/Half's, and Ultra races, so send me some info on dates and times, if you are planning to run one in 2020. turbt48@aol.com

The weekend of February 22, the Y and The Dream Center are teaming up to put on the Annual Pancake Days, and Team 13 is having a reunion run from Garvin Park, with the end leading to eating Pancakes.  What could be better!  Watch for more information on that in the BOR and 812 posts to come.

A Look ahead, on the evening of February 22, it's the 3rd annual Sweetheart Sock Hop to benefit needs at Ozanam. It will be held at the VFW post located at 110 Wabash Ave. Last year many of the runners came out to enjoy an evening of dancing for this good cause. Contact Danette Romines at, Osanam.dromines@gmail.com or 812 422 2214.

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

Goal for 2020
Not to be Better Than Anyone Else,
But to be Better Than I Used to Be!

February 1, 2020

New month, new goals!  February is here, and there may be some rain again.  The past weekend there were no running races locally, but the Y sponsored an indoor Triathlon, and many came out to get in the fun of competing and volunteering.  Congrats to those that enjoyed the fun and brought home the bling!

This weekend the BOR group will join up with Run Walk 812 at Forefront Therapy on 1st street.  Shari will have 3,6, and 8 mile routes, and I will have a 4 mile add on to bump the mileage up to 12 for those training long.  812 will meet at 7 am, and the BOR group will meet at 7:50 at the Y, or earlier if you want to get to Forefront earlier.  The Loop Group will meet at 7 am, at Central High, parking lot off of First Ave, North of the tennis courts.

It looks like another week of lull in the local races, so keep working hard for when things fire back up!  Whatever you do, enjoy your time with friends while getting those training miles in!

I am all out of upcoming Marathons/Half's, and Ultra races, so send me some info on dates and times, if you are planning to run one in 2020. turbt48@aol.com

A Look ahead, on the evening of February 22, it's the 3rd annual Sweetheart Sock Hop to benefit needs at Ozanam.

January 25, 2020

January is nearing it's end, and the weather is feeling more like it should be, with the exception of the rain, which seems to mess up the Saturday long runs!  Like any true runner, we will get the run in one way or another.  Last weekend we had the Freekin Freezin race at the Deaconess Sports Park, and lots of people braved the cold to enjoy it.  There were more than I had heard that ran in Hawaii this past weekend.  It was good to see the group that ran get together for some photos and fun!  Michelle W and  Allen, Martha and her friend Vivian, and Eric and Sandy.  Congrats to all that participated and had fun or met their goal and to those that placed in their races!

This weekend we will venture to USI, where Run Walk 812 will meet behind the daycare center at 7 am.  The BOR group has their choice to start at Burdette at the Discovery Lodge, or at USI.  You can take the route backward or forward.  The Loop Group will meet again at 7 am at the DQ on Franklin street.

This weekend in racing, it looks like no races are on the schedules, so get out there and train hard for when the schedule picks up again!

I am all out of upcoming Marathons/Half's, and Ultra races, so send me some info on dates and times, if you are planning to run one in 2020. turbt48@aol.com

A Look ahead, on the evening of February 22, it's the 3rd annual Sweetheart Sock Hop to benefit needs at Ozanam.
