Weekend 3 of November, and the weather is starting to show signs of the approaching fall season.  Cooler weather is on it's way! Hurrah!  I for one is looking forward to the cold weather.  I know some like it warm, but anyone that knows me, understands my love for cold.

This past weekend, no local races happened, and Team 13 had their 15 K virtual run at training on Saturday.  I hope everyone was able to get a feel of their bodies condition in respect to the 15 K distance.  It was cooler, but the humidity was out the roof.  Some of the locals, were able to get in their virtual Boston Marathon.  It has to be such a disappointment to not get it done in person.  As usual, Mom O Six, Michelle Walker, found a marathon to run.  Cathy Downes and Jen Metcalf found some rough terrain racing over the weekend, and on Tuesday when they ran their training, the effects of stiffness was still apparent in their running form!  

This weekend, Team 13 is meeting at Wesselmans' at 7 am, for an 11 mile training route.  The BOR group can meet at the Y for a good long 19 mile training run and join up with the Team 13 group.  If you are just wanting a 12 mile route, just add a big and little loop in the park before or after the 11.

In racing, keep in mind all of the different virtual races, as I don't see any local, in person races this weekend.  Sign up for any of these you like, or there is still time to sign up for the Y series events, especially the virtual Half Marathon.  Whatever you do, enjoy the miles and the friendships you have made with the running community!

What can I say, this year is moving fast, even though so much craziness is going on!  The second weekend in September, and last weekend we had a chance to run a real race.  There were 2 local races, with Run Victoria, and the Evansville Labor Day run.  Hopefully if you felt safe running, you got out there and tested your body against some other folks doing the same!

This weekend would have been the running of the Y series 15 K race, and Team 13 is providing a route or 2 that can be used if you want to run it virtual.  Since it will be downtown from the Old Y, I will throw the 5 mile add on for anyone that wants a few extra.  

In Local racing, it looks pretty dry for this weekend, but To the Finish has a race up in Fort Wayne IN.  If you feel like getting away and running live, get with them and sign up.  If you feel like spectating a high school XC race, there is one Saturday also at Washington IN.  A few of the Ultra runners found races for the weekend, but I lack the information on these.  Look at the sites below to see if there is a virtual or other race coming up that interests you!
