Saturday, November 8th

Cold and wind seemed to be the ideal conditions for most this past weekend, PR's were falling like the leaves and a lot of great first timer finishes. Congrats to all the finishers in Indy and NYC and anywhere else I may have missed.

 

 

 

Good Luck this week to those doing the Full Moon Fever Thursday, and the Runaissance 5K Saturday, and wherever you may be lacing them up, have a great run!

Saturday, October 25th

 

Another weekend and another group of great races and pacers, first timers, PR's and some returning to the racing, as always inspiring and amazing! Let's see we had Indianapolis Marathon, Grand Rapids Marathon, Columbus  Marathon, Detroit Marathon, Seven Bridges Marathon, Purdue 1/2 Marathon and Mainklin 5k (I think most have sobered up from this one).

Good Luck to everyone this weekend heading up for the Tecumseh Trail Marathon, heading east for the Marine Corps Marathon and to those sticking around town for the See Bob Run and Brain Drain Zombie 5k's.

Below is a mix of miles from 12 to 20, pick your poison and enjoy the fall colors.

See you Saturday!



NON Running News:

I've had a few runs down Franklin that felt like a crawl, comment below if any interest in a BOR meet up on Franklin Street Saturday Night for the Zombie Pub Crawl....

 


October Pizza : Parkway Pizza
 

After surviving Vegas, and the Fall Festival the last couple weeks we decided to give this self proclaimed "Original Westside Tradition" a shot Saturday night.  For starters, unlike the Titanic we dodged the iceberg (lettuce that is) salad bar, didn't appear to be a heavy rotation on this one.

We went with the Veggie Pizza (surprise) minus olives add tomato, and I have to say it was a disappointing experience, the toppings seemed to be out of a can, what sauce there was lacking much flavor and too much cheese for my liking, making for a rare occasion for us, the need for a to-go box. The upside was the crust, cracker crisp. Think we'll stick to the other Westside tradition in October.

Shoe Rating: 1 shoe
