 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!

Our first free week out from the Half Marathon, and hopefully all of you are hanging in there to keep the training going!  Remember you have to keep you body in good shape all year to keep yourself ready for the races.  If you train for the annual race, you will work much harder and be sore more often than if you keep it going!  Get some warm weather training clothes, preferably layering to get you through the whole winter.  You can stay warm and get your miles just the same as summer.  There were a couple of the group that ran an ultra, Congrats Big Sexy for your 2nd over all Female place, and First in age group.  Some ran the Run with the Yeti race, and hoping all had a good time!

This weekend the BOR group will meet downtown at the Y, our usual place for the long run, and Run Walk 812, is meeting there too.  We will follow the route Shari is putting out, and adding in the middle to get the 12 miles we keep for a minimum.  Both groups will meet at the Y at 7 am.  There is construction on Walnut before and through U of E, but it is manageable.  The Loop Group, will meet at Friedman Park in Newburgh at 7 am.

This weekend in local racing, it looks like the Franklin Street Beer Run, starting at Leroy's Tavern.  There are still some Virtual races out there, so for the most up to date information, check out the links below.  Have fun out there!

October 10, 2020

 For some reason, I like the ring of October 10!  Well, for those that were prepared, and ran the Y Virtual Half Marathon last weekend, I hope, like myself, you were happy with your time!  After being laid up during last years half marathon, it was great to finish my first half marathon distance all year.  For some reason, as I age, the heat and humidity affect my running more.  There were lots of pictures posted from Saturday, so if you were out there, you should have found one of yourself.

This weekend, the BOR group will go back to following the Run Walk 812 group.  We will start at the Y downtown, and run out to meet their group from Manna Mediterranean Grill, on Lincoln.  Shari is putting out a 4, 7, and 9 mile route.  If you are one running from the Y, and back, it is roughly 7 miles.  You can then pick the distance from there, to get the mileage you want.  The Loop Group will start up again this weekend, 7 am from the Old Armory, near UE ball fields.

In racing this weekend, it looks like the local race is, Run With the Yeti, at Angel Mounds, Saturday at 7 am.  To the Finish has a 5K in Carmi Illinois, so look at their site for details on that one.  There are still some of the long distance virtual races going on, so see if you can find one that meets your needs.
