Season 16 - In the Books!

That's a wrap! Sure seemed that the 13 runs went by in a flash. Enjoyed seeing all of you this year. Many new faces, new friends, as always. Will be sure to send out an email or two next Spring to remind everyone of the Summer Swing 2020 5K Series. Here are tonight's results, by the way. We had a pretty good turnout - I would imagine the pizza party helped! It's difficult to be in attendance for all runs in the series, but we had some folks that didn't miss a single run. Congratulations to Kim White, Kermit Davis, Scooter Wood, and Bill Lacy. Erol Sozen missed only one run, and for some reason we didn't see our friend Shane Newsome on tonight's last run. I suspect that work may have "interfered" for Shane. Tonight was the only run he missed. If I missed anyone else, please let me know. Sure enjoyed it - and am already looking forward to next year. Be careful while you are out there pounding the pavement or picking your way down a trail. Hope to see you soon. Doug

Not Bad

For a July evening, you can't get much better than we had tonight. A cool front came through and we had a good breeze, probably 10 to 15 degrees cooler than normal. Not bad! And the watermelon was pretty good too, we wiped out 3 of them. If you missed tonight, be sure to come next week for our pizza run. That's right, free pizza, don't miss out. That will also be the last run of this season, our 16th year. Hope to see you next Tuesday. Here are tonight's results. Doug

Watermelon Run Tonight!

Watermelon after the run tonight, rain or not. See you this evening! Doug

Nearly Cancelled

You might know - have sunny weather all afternoon, and show up for Summer Swing run #11 and a thunderstorm pops up 10 minutes before we run. Been there, done that? Fortunately this one blew over pretty quickly and runners were able to start about 6:35pm. And it was a bit cooler, so it turned out okay. We had 40+ runners tonight - not bad for July. Always glad to see new people every week, too. Makes it fun! Okay, switching gears here.....we have two runs left....just enough time to squeeze in our traditional watermelon and pizza runs. Watermelon next week, and pizza on the last run (July 30). Be sure to be here next Tuesday to help us knock out some watermelon. Almost forgot, here are the results for tonight's run. See you next week - Doug.

Run 10

Run 10 is in the books and there are 3 runs left in the series. Getting there! This summer is flying by; school is just around the corner. Hard to believe. We had a little relief from the heat - thankfully - but not from the humidity. Must have been close to 100 percent! As we wind down the series for 2019, I'll be working on plans for either our traditional watermelon run or our pizza run. Maybe both! More on that later. Here are the results for today's run. Hope to see all of you back next week! Doug

Wow

Wow, that had to be the hottest Summer Swing Run ever. It was pretty tough! Most of you wisely slowed down a bit. We have 4 more runs to go - with a finish date of July 30. Coming to a close for this series. It's been great! Hope to see you next week. Results of this week's run are here.
