Meet at Vogt Woods Park in Tinley Park - 171st and about 3 blocks East of Oak Park Avenue. Vogt Woods 6527 W. 171st Street.
We'll start at 8:30 Please try to be on time.
The trails will be too sloppy - that's the reason for the move.
Our goal now is to keep working hard to reach peak racing form in the next 4 weeks. Everyone of your workouts should have a purpose. Add a little up-tempo portion to all of them if you can. No junk miles.

Wednesday Practice
Meet at Tinley Park High School Track. Be warmed up and ready to run by 6:45.
We're entering the heart of the Spring/Summer Racing Season - if you want to drop your race times down please join us for a few workouts on the track. You WILL get faster.
Nice turn-out at the pub crawl we had 12 crawlers at our peak. It was a lot of fun and an unique experience. We'll probably have another one later this summer.

TTT Spring Bar Crawl - PRACTICE INFO TOO
SATURDAY PRACTICE 8:45 40 ACRES - 119TH - 1 BLOCK EAST OF LAGRANGE
It’s time for the TTT Spring Bar Crawl, which will take place Friday May 16. Thanks for voting, it’s good to see we’ll have 10 or more people out there for this event. Everyone is welcome whether you are new or old to TTT, or if you are thinking of coming out to run with us but haven’t done so yet. This will take place on the south loop, which includes Buffalo Wild Wings, Rock Bottom, Houlihans, and Harrison’s. Park at BWW (NW corner of LaGrange and 159th St.) and meet the group inside in the bar area. Note that this is a bar crawl, so those looking for speed work or mileage will have to wait until Saturday’s practice. But that gives everyone else a chance to come out as we migrate from bar to bar at warm-up pace. Here’s the schedule for those who may join part way into it or meet up after 10 at Harrison’s:
7:30 – 8:30: Gather at Buffalo Wild Wings maybe grab some food
8:30 – 9:15: Rock Bottom
9:15 – 10:00: Houlihans
10:00 - ???: Harrison’s
Note that finishing at Harrison’s allows us to be close to vehicles for leaving. We’ve also mapped out good spots for crossing intersections. Also, guys, I don’t want to see any short running shorts/shirts in the bars, and neither do the other patrons. I’d recommend cargo shorts or running pants (use your best judgement). Furthermore, don’t be scared to be out on a Friday night with practice on Saturday morning. I’ve pleaded with the Skullmaster to start practice later, and I believe he’s been generous enough to move it to 8:45. If you have any questions I haven’t covered here, or are just plain excited about this event, feel free to reply to this post.

Saturday Practice
Meet at Little Red Schoolhouse - 9700 S. 104th Ave. at 8:30. Part of the workout will be a tempo run as we continue to build our strength and speed as we enter the prime spring racing season. Be sure to choose a few races to take advantage of the fitness you've been working on since January.
Good luck to Jim Raymond this weekend as he embarks on his 50-miler!
Note to all runners that haven't been out for a while or those that haven't given us a try yet.
Come on out for a practice or two. There is no committment. If you want to come out once a month that is fine. If you want to come out for just 4 weeks to get ready for a race that is okay too. We welcome everyone. The more people that come out, the more people we have to run with and the better we all get. The speedwork, tempo and long runs we do are a lot harder to do by yourself. Plus with a group they are a lot more fun. So come on out - the only guarantee we'll make is that you'll get faster

Saturday Practice
Meet at 40 Acre Woods 119th St. 2 blocks east of LaGrange at 8:30.
There will be a full workout and a shorter option (3-4 miles) for those doing the 1/2 marathon on Sunday.
I would like to order either singlets or technical shirts for the team this year - please vote on the blog which you would prefer.
Also it would be cool to have a short saying on the back. Example
"If you're walking - you don't belong here." Perfect to wear on the indoor track next season
If you have any ideas throw it on the blog.
