Is it me or is summer is going fast?

I feel like I looked up today and we are well into summer, and fall is far too close.  Hope you have all been enjoying the wonderful weather for running so far this week, with lows in the 50s and 60s.  As always let me know if there are races coming up so we can cheer you on.  Please send your thoughts and prayer out to Rosa, she crashed on her bike  this past weekend at a 1/2 Ironman and has a fracture thumb, clavicle and rib.  Speedy recovery Rosa, hope you are back at it soon!!!

Group Run: We will continue our summer test run of a Tuesday night run, meeting at 6pm tonight at the Cedarburg Community Gym Parking lot for a 5-6 mile social run.  Saturday morning, we will meet at the Community Gym in Cedarburg 7am Saturday, and head south on the bike path and be running the “Meekwon Golf Course Route.”  It is a bit shorter than some of our routes, at about 9 miles and change.  You can see the full route if you follow the group run link to our website.  There will be water and gatorade on the route, but feel free to carry what you need also.

Per usual, hang around after our run for a cup of coffee at Fiddleheads after our Saturday run!!!

As always Run Happy!!!!

Happy Belated 4th of July!!!

Hope you all had a wonderful chance to celebrate our nations independence with friends and family.  This week let’s cut right to the chase:

Group Run 7-8: This Saturday we will meet at the Cedarburg Community Gym at 7am per usual and head North out of town on the “Cedar Creek Route.”  If you click group run it will take you to our website with all the maps of our routes.  This route is just over 10 miles, but as always feel free to add miles before or after, as well as to only do part of the route as you chose.  There will be water and Gatorade on the route, but feel free to carry your own fluid and fueling as you want.

Need more Gatorade!!! Thank you to all those who have already given to our annual hydration drive.  We are doing well with cases of water, but if you are willing bring along a case of gatorade this week to our run.  This will be out last week of formally calling for hydration donations

Thank you Run Ozaukee!!

This past weekend I ran Grandma’s Marathon and was overwhelmed in the weeks leading up, and even since the race of the incredible encouragement of this group!!!  Thank you so much for your texts, emails, and other encouragement on this journey.  I got a little greedy pacing, and did not make my Boston Qualifying time at Grandma’s, but am ready to make the BQ at the Chicago Marathon this fall.

Congrats to Craig, Doug, and Ryan for completing the Hartfest Half Marathon this weekend, and representing Run Ozaukee there!!!

Run, Run, Run: Summer and fall are traditionally race time, so please let us know what races are on your schedule, so we can cheer you on!!!

Annual Hydration Drive: We have no membership fees at Run Ozaukee and our primary cost is setting out water and Gatorade each week.  Each year I ask that people consider bringing a case of water or gatorade or both to help with this.  We will plan to have our annual hydration drive on Saturday June 24th, July 1st, and July 8th.  Please bring any donated water or Gatorade on those weeks.  Thanks as always!!!

Per usual, hang around after our run for a cup of coffee at Fiddleheads!!!

Is it hot out there?

This past week I did my runs in Florida, and began adjusting to running in high humidity, 80-90 degrees, and then came home to it hotter here than there, so looks like summer is here to stay for now.

First things first, congrats to Kati, Chris, and Nick for their completing the Rock N Sole Half Marathon last weekend and to Lucy for her another win in her age division on a 100 mile run!!!  Keep sending along the races you run of all lengths, so we can cheer you on!!!

Cheers and prayers appreciated as I (Bill) run Grandma’s Marathon in Duluth this weekend.  If you can set water out please contact me directly, and I can get you the water buckets for this week.

Group Run(s): Just a reminder we are now on our summer schedule so there will be a social run each Tuesday evening at 6pm starting at the Cedarburg Community Gym.  We will do 4-6 miles easy pace for a nice social run.

Saturday we will be running the “Kaehler’s Mill route.”  Meet at the Community Gym at 7am, then we will head out on this route that is just about 10 miles.
