Here we are, Memorial Day weekend, and for some, a long weekend, for others, another day.  Whichever, I hope you have a great weekend!  The weather is warming more daily, but with clouds and rain, it is not unbearable yet!  Last weekend we joined up with 812 from Forefront Therapy, and got some good miles in.

This weekend, the BOR group will begin from the Y at 6:30 and run to Howell Park to join Run Walk 812.  Shari has various distance routes to choose from, and everyone should be able to get their training in!  Have fun whatever distance you choose!

In Racing this weekend, To The Finish has the Memorial Day 5 K and 10 K Run / Walk beginning at 9 am at Garvin Park.  Get with them for details.  There is also the Virtual races to go with.  Run Indiana is off to a hot start, and with lots of miles, and lots of time to get them in.  Click the link to get signed up.   Run Indiana

We are at mid-month in May, and things are starting to normalize a little.  Some restaurants are open for dine in, and shops and other businesses are getting back to work.  We ran to the East last weekend, and were able to look at some of the nice homes in that area.  The weather was cool, and many had to layer up a little.

This weekend the BOR group will start at the Y at 6:45 am, and run down to First street to Forefront Therapy to meet up with the Run Walk 812 group that will start at 7 am.  Shari has 3, 8, and 9 mile routes available.  I will add onto those routes to give a 12 or 13 mile route.

Curt, Cindi, and the Group at Ultimate fit are open for those needing new equipment, so go in and check out the showroom, if you forgot what they have for your needs. Ultimate Fit 

There are still some virtual races available, so get with the race directors, and see if one fits your training or racing needs.  Some of the races are getting scheduled for the fall, and some will run sooner in staged races.

May 9, 2020

Were into the second weekend of May, and many are doing virtual races from here to yonder, and this all makes for some fun running.  Last weekend the training routes started from, or ran by Ultimate fit, and everyone worked to keep their safe distance.

This weekend, Run Walk 812 is starting at Wesselmans, for an 8 mile core route starting at 7 am, and the BOR group will meet up at the downtown Y at 6:10 am, and run out to Wesselmans to join up with the 812 group for whatever distance you want to add on.  

The local races are working on getting their schedules firmed up and with a little luck from the virus, things will fall together for some nice running.  There are a few virtual races that you can get signed up for to keep your training in check.  Have fun out there whether training or racing, and be patient, keep your safe distance while running, and be ready when the racing resumes!

Remember that Ultimate fit has all of your training equipment and can get you up and running.
