November 7, 2020

Here we are, into the first Saturday of November, and the weather went from cool to warm again, so if you are one that likes the warm, this is for you!  Last weekend we had a nice route on the east side, and except for that one big hill both ways on Lincoln, it wasn't too bad.  Some were really into the Halloween spirit, and in full dress for the occasion!  Thanks Shari!  There were also a couple of local races, and I hope some of you got to test out your speed for the short distances.  Mom O Six, Michelle Walker found another marathon, this time in Michigan, and pulled another good time, in more ways than just running, with good sights, and friends.  The best part of running out of town races.  Congrats Michelle!

This weekend, Shari is leading the 812 group from Forefront Therapy, at 7 am.  She will have 3.25, 5.5, and 8 miles for your running pleasure.  For those that want a few more, Start out at the Y at 6:50 am, and run to Forefront on First St.  Then at Walnut and Kentucky, head east in the middle of the route to add more miles. Turn around where you want and get the miles you need.  The Loop Group will start at Garvin Park at 7 am, and run their loops from there.  Lots of options for miles you want.  Have fun!

I forgot to mention that the annual Ozanam Food Drive is coming up on November 21, at Ultimate Fit, at 7 am.  Some of the items needed are canned fruit, tuna, carrot.  Non Food items needed, deodorant, hair brushes, combs.

In local racing, Saturday, there is the, Relay Worship 4-Miler at Ethram White Park, in Bowling Green, KY.  There are still some of the virtual races to get in on, so find one you want, and get your race on!  See the sites below for info to sign up.

What could be more scary than Halloween 2020?  With the direction things have gone so far, who knows!  Everyone kept up with their training this past weekend, and some fun pics were caught.  Keep up the training, and if anyone wants to rejoin the groups, there are runners, walkers and everywhere in between still out hitting the roads Tuesday, Thursdays, and Saturdays.  If you need a group, ask on the Facebook BOR post, and someone will find you.

This weekend, Run Walk 812 is starting out at the State Hospital grounds at 7 am.  Meet up at the small parking lot just South of Lincoln.  Shari has a 4.5, 7.5, 8, and 9 mile routes posted, and you can also find them below.  Those that want a longer run, start from the Y downtown for a little over 9.5 mile add on, and should probably start at 6 am, from the Y to join up at the start of 812's group.  Dress up in your favorite Halloween running costume to make it the most fun!  The Loop Group will start from Downtown, on Vine, near Vectren at 7 am, and do their loops from that point.

In local racing, it looks like there is the Red Dome Trail Festival 5 & 10K at Scales Lake Park, Saturday.  Tri State Fitness should get you going on this race.  The Ace Scare Skele-Fun Run 5K at UE, with Rise Up and Run.   Blazin Glazin Fun run is Sunday, at Deaconess Sports Park.  There are still some Virtual races going on, so if you want to run safer, get signed up for one of these.  See the sites below for other upcoming races.

 October is nearing it's end, and Fall continues to progress!  With just a few warm days this week, we seem to be trending toward colder temperatures and all the good things that come with them.  Some of you may have run the Franklin Street Beer run, and if so, I'm sure you had a good time.  Mom O Six, Michelle Walker found another marathon in Tennessee, and not only came home with a good time, but the bling that comes with, First Masters Female in the race!  Congrats Michelle, you are an inspiration to all!  Congrats to the overall Male and Female winners in the Indiana Brewery Running Series, Kristy and Chris!  Hope the runs were worth the beer!

This weekend, the BOR group will start out around 6:20 am Saturday from the Y, and run out to meet Run Walk 812 at Mesker Parking lot, at 7 am.  Shari has put together a couple of routes from that point, and claims only one hill.  The Loop Group will be in the area, starting at Barker and Clairemont at 7 am. Routes will be below.

In Local racing, keep a look out for the Virtual races listed on the sites below.  I don't see any other local races this weekend, so if you know of one that I have missed, please post to the Facebook page.  

Have a great running weekend out there!
