Sat. the 30th of July


Good run on Thursday morning.  And, a very good turn out.  The best yet (this is our fourth running).  We had 41 runners out at 7a.m. on July 28th - before the Rodeo Parade.  Lots of young runners which was very nice to see. 

Keith and Peter are headed to Birtle for a 1/2 Marathon next week-end.  Have a good run there you guys. I'm positive that you'll reel a few in and represent the Swan River Valley there very very well. 

A Wellman Lake trail run coming up in August.  Keep checking the blog for more details.

Keep give'n'er for the rest of the week-end,

THURSDAY the 28th

One more sleep.

See you tomorrow morning.  We start the run at 7a.m.

If anybody can make it.........  I could use a hand putting up the "arrow-stakes" for the routes.  I plan to start putting them up at 9p.m. tonight.  There won't be enough time to do it in the morning before the run.  I'll do an early morning sweep to replace any that get knocked over.

So ya, thanks if you can   make it out to help.  I'm going to start at the arena parking lot at 9p.m.  I have all the stakes (18) ready and in my truck.  We just have to pound them in. 

It's going to a great run tomorrow .  Beautiful weather.

"Hotter than the hubs of Hell"   Skeleton figure in flames
I just heard them say it was 37*C on Yorkton Radio. 

Pretty nice eh?

Rodeo Run coming up next week.  Should be a good one. 

If you had to make a choice, what would you choose, -40* or +40* C?

I would choose the plus 40 one, just as we don't get that as frequent ast the other one.  Although, both are a good challenge. 
The +40* run; it would be most critical to keep hydrated.  Carry water with you on the run and don't stop drinking.  I don't think you could over do it drinking while running in that heat.  For us anyway; probably Etheopeans don't have a drink until the next day. 

The minus 40 degree run is more familiar to us.  The big thing would be not to have a strong wind or any head wind for that matter.  The clothing, layering, etc. - we know about that.  We are living proof that cold weather running can be done (no such thing as frozen lungs - a myth).

10 K Route:



From the Arena Parking Lot, 2nd Street North past the bridge and across the railway tracks to Centennial Drive, South on Centennial to Main Street, out PTH #83 to the By-pass exit East, the by-pass and back into Town at Mb. Hydro at Main Street, across Main and North on PTH #10A to Ross Street, West on Ross St to 9th Avenue, South on 9th to 3rd St. N., 3rd St. N to the Agricultural Asphalt Pathway, down the ag path and back into the Arena Parking Lot.



5k Route:
