DRINK!! DRINK!!! PLENTY OF FLUIDS

We may have a heat index up to 100 on Tuesday. Make sure to drink plenty of fluids all day. Would be a good idea to stay away from too much caffeine. We may slow our pace down if it does get that hot. Remember to dress cool as well.

See you all on Tuesday!

Tuesday July 29th - Practicing Abe's Course

Tuesday we are practicing the Abe's Course. Hard to believe it's only a couple of weeks away. For those of you who haven't ran the course before, there is only the part in the cemetary that you haven't ran. Now you get to put it all together! This will be a fun night, hopefully the rain will stay away.

Running the Course Saturday

Please feel free to join us this Saturday to run the Abe's Course. We will be meeting at the Fairgrounds at 7:30. Some of us are getting 10 miles in that morning, so we will be starting at 7:00 but will be back by 7:30 to lead the group. I will be setting out water/gatorade. Any questions, please feel free to post or email.

Good run tonight everyone! It was a hot one, but we are on the home stretch. It will be race day before you know it.

Premier Bank 5K - Jacksonville

The Hillions Group kicked booty today as all 4 Sargents received awards!! It was a perfect morning to run, nice and cool. This is very unusual as this race usually brings hot temps and humid conditions. Rick 1st, Madalyn 1st, Janet 2nd Female Master (and no this is not the old farts!)this is a very high honor, and I got 1st in our respective age groups.

This Tuesday is just 5 miles at the fairgrounds. This will be a piece a cake!!

Be safe!!

HALFWAY 5K

Tuesday was a very hot and humid night for racing, but everyone did a great job. This gives you an idea where you are with your training. Just remember, follow your training log, and come day to run Abe's Amble, you'll be ready.

Don't forget, there is a 5K in Jacksonville at 8:00 on the 4th if you are looking for racing experience.

Have a safe and fun 4th of July holiday. We'll see everyone on Tuesday at the fairgrounds.

HILLIONS ROCK!!!
