Tinley Track & Trail and Short run/Long day runners,

Meet at 6:30 on Wednesday June 28th at 9800 Avenida Del Norte St. This will be the site of our BBQ following a short but effective workout. It's strategically located about a half mile north of The Human Race Sports store in Orland. See map link below:

If you have been thinking about coming out to a workout, this is the time. If you know someone who wants to run with us, or if you were at the Short Run on a Long Day, it behooves you to come out and meet the infamous Tinley Track & Trail team.

Bringing a side dish is optional, but appreciated (bag of chips, etc). Bringing a spouse or significant other is optional; have them arrive at 7:30. Bringing a suit for the pool or hot tub is optional as well. If you have any questions/comments, please post to the blog, and either Rich or Carl will answer so that everyone knows. If you know what side dish you’re bringing, you can post that as well so that there aren’t any repeats. Please note that parking is only on one side of the streets, watch for signs. Hope to see you all soon!

It Don't Mean A Thing if You Don't Win Some Bling

Short Run on A Long Day - All Tinley Racers Medaled!

Carrie Forystek was the first women finisher.
However she was dissed by the Frankfort Running Company. They gave shoes to the 1st male finisher but not her. Show your support for everyone's favorite daisy-wearing runner by sending the Frankfort Running Company an e-mail rebeccastigrn@sbcglobal.net and show them your outrage.

Thanks to the Sommers for throwing another excellent post-race party.

Practice on Saturday is at 8:30 at Little Red Schoolhouse. There will be an easier option for those racing on Sunday.

Don't forget the team barbecue on Wednesday 6/28. Address to follow next week.

Short Run On a Long Day

No practice on Wednesday - much of the team will be running the Short Run On A Long Day in Frankfort on Thursday. Afterwards Mike Sommer will be having a party at his house which is a few blocks from the race. We will provide directions to those attending. He has a pool and hot tub so bring your swim suits. The race starts at 7:00: It's at Main Park

If Jim Raymond can run as well on Illinois soil?
If triathlon training has helped Brian Gleich?
If Carrie will win the overall team title?
If Rachel will be hampered by her broken rib?
If Kevin will get to the start on time?
If Dave will break his two year drought and race?

Plus much more drama.......... see you there...
