I could probably keep writing lots of stories and keep you updated about the latest news out of Chicago, but since the focus of this site is Central Indiana I won’t. Unless I get race reports from you or some other major news comes. So send me race reports! A final note I found out that the man who died Chad Schieber, of Michigan, was a 1994 graduate of Anderson University.

Sheridan Harvest 5K Run/Walk:It was well run. A little bit of every kind of surface: road, brick, grass and finished on the Monon Trail. No 1 mile split announcement. Got a PR. Nice, medium sized race. Plan on running again next year.-David Sweet
