Weekly RunDown #125



“I realized that if I changed my vocabulary, 
 I would change the thoughts in my head. 
When I changed my thoughts, 
 I would change my actions. 
 When I changed my actions, 
 I would get different results.” 
 Charlie Spedding

Running groups are a great way to get to know people but also a great way to help you progress and get out and run.  If you are in the Elizabethtown KY area check out the Running Soles Group and if you are closer to Campbellsville check out the Campbellsville Running  Club.  Have another local running group in KY let me know and I will list it.

Run the Kentucky Derby Festival 1/2 Marathon or Marathon April 27, 2019 - got my BQ there for 2016 and looking to get it for 2020
