April 4, 2020

Here we are into the first weekend of April, and enjoying the time of isolation.  Not!  Last weekend we had a westside route with enough hills to make you stronger.  We had a few join and run while keeping our distance for safety.  

This weekend I will put a couple of options out there for those that want to run.  I have a 4, 6, and 13 mile route for those wanting to keep the training going.  We will start at the Y at 6 or 7 am, for those that want.  Pick your time, and find your group, to get your miles in.  We will not put water out, so if you want water, either put it out on the route, or carry your own.  Remember to keep your personal distances for your and your friends safety.  Lets not keep this virus hanging around any longer than we have to.

I will not post races but there are a few virtual races going, so get with the organizers below to find the one that suites you, or has the medal you like.  As always get out there and enjoy your run, while being safe!

Well we are entrenched in the Coronavirus pandemic, and only essential activities are suppose to be done.  Last weekend we had group runs with people keeping their needed distances apart, and the run was a success.  Locally there are very few people with positive tests for the virus.  

This weekend I will put a West side route out there for anyone to run at their convenience, and if you want to pack run, keep the personal distances that are recommended.  There will be no water stops, so all are urged to carry their own, and not share at this time.  I will put out a 12 and 14 mile routes, and you can add on or cut off somewhere to get your preferred distance.  The Loop Group, and Run Walk 812 /Run Victoria groups will not post a route this weekend.

There are no races scheduled at this time except virtual races, so if you want to test your ability, sign up for one of these and run you personal race.  This is a good way to judge your training and give you an idea of what you need to work on.  Check the sites below for what is available.  As always just get some fresh air, and enjoy your run!

Here we are in the middle of the Worldwide Pandemic, and everyone needs to practice caution and personal distancing.  We will continue to publish routes for long weekend run training, since as runners, that is what we do.  Last weekend we had a couple of race cancellations, but training and the LBL race went on.  Congrats to all that ran that race and especially did well in the sloppy cold conditions!  You are badass!

This weekend the BOR will start at the downtown Y which may or may not be open, so be prepared for either situation.  I would recommend bringing a carry water bottle in case none is available and no need to take a chance of passing anything back and forth.  We will run to Wesselmans and join the 812 / Run Victoria group.  Shari is posting an 8 mile route, and will not have copies for distribution, so copy or print your own copy for running.  The Loop group will start their loops from the Old Armory west of UE campus.

Racing seems to be on hold or through virtual racing, so look to the race director / timing group websites below to keep up to date on virtual or cancelled races.  Whatever you do, as always enjoy the run, and practice social distancing!
