Saturday, February 27th

Looked like a huge crowd on what was a great morning to run or walk at Ultimate Fit for the River Run Training on Saturday, lots of giveaways and deals. This week the training heads to Newburgh for 5 miles and a 7:00 a.m. start from the Newburgh Starbucks...hmmmm not sure where that is, any help? Not much racing action but there was a lot of pancake action between the Pancake Days at the Y and the SITT Cracker Barrel run....

I jumped the gun last weekend, that's what 5 weeks of no running will do to you, so Good Luck THIS weekend to all taking on the Bound the Mound challenge at Angel Mounds, this is usually a great race, the Southern Indiana Tri Team will do it up right this year with Smore's a plenty at the finish, and Good Luck and safe travels for any heading out for the Cummins Falls Marathon in Tennessee and the George Rogers Clark 10 miler and Rita Barker 2 miler in Vincennes .

Below is a 16 miler for your running pleasure, North/West, add or take off as needed. Next week the River Run Training heads back to Ultimate Fit for a 5 miler, I will most likely post an option to run out to UF and return for those wanting to take part.

See You Saturday!

Saturday, February 20th

It was a Big weekend in racing, Congrats to everyone who braved the cold temps everywhere, those who were down South in Birmingham for the Mercedes Marathon, Austin, TX for the Austin Marathon and even further down to Ft. Lauderdale, FL for the A1A Marathon, and to those who kept it local in the Fly with the Eagles run in Marion and the first of the series Hearts on Fire 5k here at home, 2016 is kicking in!

Looked like another big crowd for a very cold second week of River Run Training which took off from Tri-State Athletic Club, this week it moves a little East to Ultimate Fit.

Good Luck to everyone running the George Rogers Clark 10 miler and Rita Barker 2 miler in Vincennes, and to everyone taking on the Bound the Mound runs in Evansville this weekend.

Below is another Eastside route for Saturday....I know, but the River Run Training starts at Ultimate Fit and the below route swings right by for those wishing to hook up with the group for a few miles. Comment below or on Facebook if you are looking to head out early to get to Ultimate Fit by the 7:00 start.

Don't forget your post run pancakes and I promise, more hills next week.

See you Saturday!
