We will meet at Brian Mitchell's pad on Belmont and run south along the lake. If you are interested we can hang out at the North Ave. Beach for a while after the run.

Jackets - about 7 people have not picked up their jackets yet. If you still want it please notify me a few days before a practice that you are coming to and I will try to bring it. Jackets not picked up by September 1st may be forfeited.

Wednesday July 20th Practice.

Tomorrow meet at Hickory Creek Junction. It is located on Route 30, 1 mile west of Wolf Road. Turn right into the parking lot after you drive under the pedestrian bridge that crosses Route 30. Drive into the back part of the lot. The cops are pretty strict about closing the preserve at dusk so we need to start our warm-up at 6:30! If you are going to be later than that just meet the group back at the lot at 6:45. That's when the actual practice will start.

Last year this was one of our most well attended workouts so don't miss out.
Here is an intermediate and advanced marathon schedule for the upcoming Chicago Marathon. If any of the marathoners are interested in using it please talk to me tomorrow at practice and I will go over the particular with you. The most important feature is doing a run once a week at marathon goal pace. I have that penciled in for Mondays - Let's talk tomorrow.
