New Info

I just happened to see this in the news-banner online edition.

New date for Parlor City Trot

The Ouabache River Runners have announced several changes for the upcoming 35th Parlor City Trot. The most significant involves moving the date of the race to Sept. 5. In addition, a 10-mile race will be added to the schedule, which includes a half-marathon and a 10 kilometer event.

The date was changed because of a conflict with the Fort 4 Fitness Festival on Sept. 26 in Fort Wayne.

Trot race entry forms are available at the Oupatient Rehabilitation Clinic in Bluffton Regional Medical Center’s South Campus, Hot Cakes and FPC.

Any Updates

I guess being gone so many weekends recently, I missed the last meeting and didn't even update the blog. Did I miss anything important? What's the latest news on the Trot? Is registration open and are we having another meeting before then?

Update

I have been out of the loop for awhile here so not much to update you on. It looks, from the results, like the Firecracker 4 Mile run had a good turnout and a lot of great finishing times. Great job to those of you who participated.

I assume the training program is going well. We can hear updates from Mac at the next meeting.

Any other thoughts or comments?

Meeting on Monday

Time for the monthly meeting again on Monday night, 7:00 p.m at FPC. Hope to see you there.

Training Program

The Parlor City Trot training program for runners and walkers will begin on Tuesday, June 16th. Registration deadline is June 9th, total cost is only $40 plus you receive $10 off your entry in the PCT race on September 5th. This year the race will offer a 10k, 10 mile, and half marathon. This 12 week training program will include weekly runs/walks and several educational presentations. It will be worth every penny and a great opportunity. Please pass this info along. Contact Mac with any questions, macmcavoy@gmail.com.

Group runs continue

Even though many, if any, are not showing up on Saturday mornings for the group run, I would like to keep it set up the same time and place so everyone knows. It would be nice if more of us could make it, I think it would grow if people knew that somebody would actually be there. Is there another day or time that would work better for most people. When do you normally get your weekly runs in? Just because you meet as a pack doesn't mean you have to run as a pack.

Good luck to those who are running the Indy Mini this weekend, and all other races too!

Indy Mini Meal

Teri had a great idea (although I can't participate). She was wondering if anyone in the club would be interested in eating together Friday and/or Saturday night in Indy for the Mini. Please comment soon if interested so she can make reservations, which need to be made this week. Who all is running Indy this year?
