Run 13 Results - Next to Last Run!

Here are the results of run 13. One more run to go! Remember that next week (August 2) is our pizza run. Hope to see you there. Last night was one of our better weather nights, with no threat of rain. However, it was probably our hottest run of the season. For our pizza run, we will have pizza rain or shine - if the weather is bad we will have our pizza under the pavilion at the Rec Center. So, stay safe and hydrate. Until next week - Doug.

Week 12 Results

I'm a bit late with this post - took two of my grandchildren fishing yesterday. They did pretty well - caught a bunch of bream at a local lake - and believe it or not it did not rain on us, LOL! Since I goofed off yesterday, I thought I'd better get this post out there this morning....so here are the results from Run 12. AND we managed to get the run in without rain! We are just about done for this series - two runs to go - with the last run to be our annual pizza run (Aug. 2). Be sure to make it for pizza - rain or shine. If it does happen to be bad weather, we'll knock out the pizza under the shed roof at the Rec Center. Welcome to new participants (for this year) Melanie and Rachel Hall, Lilah Middleton, and Madelyn Tarvin. Hope to see you next week. Also hope to have some others back who are enjoying some vacation time. Need to get those vacations in before school starts, which is just around the corner. That's it for now....see you next week....and be safe out there on the streets. Doug

Week 11 Results

Here are the results of our Watermelon Run. Thankfully the stormy weather stayed south of us and we were able to get in our 11th run. Three runs to go....and keep in mind that the last run on August 2nd is our pizza run. If you are new to our Summer Swing 5K series, the 8/2 run means free pizza! Make plans to join us at that time or somebody else - like me - will be eating YOUR pizza! Welcome to our additions yesterday - Caroline, Elizabeth, Emily, Ethan, John, Carter, Chris and Jackson. Glad to have you and hope to have you back. Also, much thanks to my grandsons Chris and Carter for their help setting up, working the finish line, and cleaning up. Always thankful for those that help out! That's it for now - remember to hydrate well on your runs - we are sure enough getting into some steamy, hot days. And more than likely our last 3 runs will be some of the most challenging. See you next week - Doug.

Week 10 Results

Here are the results for run 10. Thankfully, no thunderstorms this week, but it sure was hot and humid. If you check the results just posted, you will see that last week (run 9) shows no results. With the downpour, I had equipment issues and could not capture results accurately. That was a shame, as we had our largest group of the series, with over 40 participants. But, now we are back on track. NOTICE: next week is our watermelon run, so if you like free watermelon, be sure to show up. I will not grill hot dogs and hamburgers next week. Also, remember that our last run, August 2, will be pizza night. Looking forward to it. OK, now we are on the home stretch, with 4 runs left. July is tough - please take precautions to avoid heat-related issues in both our runs and your own personal runs. Welcome to Steve and Ruthie for joining us, and hope to see you next week. Stay safe!
