The Skullmaster may have been at practice Wednesday and he may not have been. No mere mortal knows nor really understands.
But the hardy soles from TT&T will be back in the game on Saturday. Meet at 40 Acre Woods at 8:30. For a run through the color-laden woods.
Next Wednesday will be the last practice on the track for 2007. Please join us in biding farewell to our old friend.

Tuesday Practice Not Wednesday Tuesday
Meet at Tinley Park High School and be warmed up and ready to run by 6:40.
Since it is so close to Halloween we may see the Skullmaster Tuesday - be on your best behavior and run hard for this icon. Here are a few things you should know about him:
Ghosts are afraid of him.
He can reason with zombies.
He wins all costume contests and he doesn't even wear a costume.
His alarm clock never goes off because it is afraid to wake him.
He is left-handed. And right-handed.
He doesn’t believe in refrigerators. His food stays fresh purely out of respect for him.
He once taught some werewolves to sing a capella
He is the Skullmaster

Practice Info: Read carefully + Run like an animal
Saturday October 27th - Meet at Little Red schoolhouse at 8:30.
Tuesday October 30th - Meet at Tinley Park High School Track and be warmed up and ready to run at 6:35. That's right TUESDAY. Since we are skulls - in honor of our favorite holiday - All Hallows Eve -we are moving the practice. Also so Jim Raymond and Austin can get in some trick or treating.
Our goal for the next few weeks will be to get people ready for any upcoming races(turkey trots etc.) - the workouts will be intense and quick to tap out the last bit of speed we can before we slow things down for the winter. On days you run on your own throw in a few strides.
Team race - It seems that the Thanksgiving Day Turkey Trot is sacred to many people from pies and brown hooded sweatshirts to cross country type courses so we will not mess with tradition and try to run together as a team. Everyone can do their own thing.
Instead we will try to get together on Sunday Nov 11th for either the 355 inaugural race (which we are investigating) or the Tinley Park Turkey Trot a perennial favorite. More details will follow. Feel free to voice your opinion on either race.
