We're at the second weekend in June, and this week, we got a little break in the weather.  The cool less humid weather the last couple of days is something I can handle for the summer!  Last weekend, we hit the trails of the Greenway for some hot humid miles.  Even though I didn't run with the group this past week, the Greenway and it's rolling hills are really a great place to train!  Many are still logging miles on a virtual race or other, to keep up with their training.  Congrats to those that have accomplished their goals!

This weekend the BOR group will start at the usual place, the Downtown Y, at 6:20 am, and run out to meet up with Run Walk 812 at Yoga 101.  Shari and her group will meet and park across the street from 101, at 7 am.  Their core run is 8 miles, and the to and from the Y is right at 7 miles.  This will make it a 15 mile run.  Shari will have shorter, 4 mile route available.

In racing, keep up with the virtual races, as many are still open to join and have plenty of time to get those miles in.  I have heard through the grapevine that the Y series races leading up to the Evansville Half Marathon are a go, with virtual options available.  Go to the Y Half Marathon site to get signed up early!

Wow, this year is nearly half over!  First week of June, and we're starting to warm up.  Everyone is still getting their miles in, and doing it while social distancing, we hope!  Last week we ran from Wesselmans, and the weather was cool, so it made for a more comfortable run or walk!  Many are entrenched in the Virtual races, and cranking out the miles!

This weekend, we celebrate National Trails Day, so we will hit the trails of the Greenway in Evansville, and keep away from the Downtown area, as protests are predicted for Saturday.  The BOR group will meet at the Y at 6 am to start avoiding the summer heat, and head North until we get on the North end of the Greenway for a 12 mile run.  Run Walk 812 is meeting at Helfrich Park, and heading east to catch the greenway.  Shari has, 4 to 10 mile options.  Whichever you do, or if you have another place to run, have fun out there!

In the Races, get signed up for one of the Virtual races.  One of the sites below, should give you something to sign up for.

Here we are at the last weekend in May, and the summer weather is pushing in hard.  Here in the Midwest, we are getting used to no spring, and we were a little blessed this year, with cooler than normal weather.  It came with a little extra rain, but was more bearable than normal!  Last weekend, the group ventured to the west, where they met up with Run Walk 812 at Howell before running a few hills.  There were a few from the running groups that raced on Memorial Day at Garvin park.  I can't wait to be in racing shape again!  For now, I'll put the miles in where I can, and with my running buddies!  They keep me going!

This weekend, the BOR group will again meet at the downtown Y, at 6 am, and run to Wesselmans Park to join up with Run Walk 812 for between 4 and 8 miles more.  They will begin at 7, and Shari will have routes to run from there.  

In racing, don't forget to go long, and join up with the Run Indiana Virtual race.  Lots of time to get signed up, and lots of time to get the miles in!
