Bockfest 2020! Here we go again!

We are Bockstars on our way to Brew Hogs!

2020 Cincinnati Cyclones 5K

I ran with my friend Rachel from Mojo while Sonia and Cartoon walked (and ran some too).  Rachel did the 10K and I wished I had done it too.  But I'm happy with my results, my time and my place in my age group.

 

New Year and New Friends

I'm back to MoJo Running and loving it.  I'm also running on Tuesdays with the Pub Run group.

I have made a new MoJo friend (need pictures soon!) who runs at about my pace and distance.  She is also training for a half in the fall so it great for me.

The first Saturday in January I met her and ran with her.  We traded contact information for Facebook.

The next Saturday it was supposed to be rainy and windy so I ran inside at the Rec with my friend from the Oxford Pub Run.

The next Saturday it poured so again I ran with my friend at the Rec.

The last Saturday Jody joined me back at MoJo and we ran with Rachel and met a few more girls in our same pace/distance group!

And as always, why didn't I remember to take pictures?  I was having to much fun.

5K Thai Style

Well I didn't get to do the Thanksgiving Day race since I was in Thailand but I did get to do the Trat Thailand Change for Good 5K!  What an experience!

Everyone wore their shirts, it was a sea of yellow.  The bibs were a thick rubbery fabric.  The food afterward was all Thai cuisine.

   

Pub Runs, Winter Running and 2020 Goals

We are still doing the pub runs and running better all the time.

I'm already registered for four races in 2020.

I did the MoJo Donut Fun run with Stacey, Jennifer and Denise.  I'm so excited to be back with the group again and plan to start attending every Saturday morning after the first of the year.  The group meets at Crossfit Coalition in Fairfield and is a little closer.

And I plan to train for a half marathon to run Spring 2020.

Hudy 7K and Brew Hog Status with Cartoon

I love this race for so many reasons.  It is the final leg of the Beer Series which means Brew Hog Status.  It is "the race that thinks its a party."  The band is one I really like named "Just Add Beer."

We did it and we have the mugs to prove it!  And I'm all signed up for the series next year!

  

Oxford Pub Runs

Oxford Visitors Bureau (ExploreOxford.org) started something new, the Oxford Pub Run.  With the promise of a shirt after attending 10 runs, we were in!

The runs start at a local bar, initially Left Field Tavern, and run down College Avenue, left on Chestnut, left on Patterson, left on High, back to the bar for drink specials!  (Since then it has moved to Books & Brews.)

The first night we attending there was a big surprise, shirts for everyone!

As with weeks continued, life got in the way but when the "10 time" tech shirts came in, I returned to finish my last couple races.

Now it is my Tuesday night activity and I love it.
