Meet at 40 Acre Woods - On 119th Street, 1 block east of LaGrange Road. Meet at 8:15.
We'll do 8-10 miles. There is also a 6-1/2 mile option available.
Anyone interested in running the Shorewood Scoot 5K as a team? 8 can enter the top 4 score.
Last year the Prairie State Road Runners won with a time of 76:23 or 19:05 per 5K. They are coming back to defend their title. I think we can prevent that. The race is Saturday September 6th. The race is only $20 and the winning team gets a Loving Cup and Medals so there is an opportunity for a lot of bling. There might be a prize from Al's Beef too.
If you want to run see me at a future practice.

Whoever runs on the Tinley Team has to train with us - no mercenaries.

All non-marathoners should be getting in a 10-12 mile long run per week. A few more miles if you're racing a 1/2 marathon or 10 miler this fall. We have been doing this as a team on Saturday. If you cannot make it out Saturday - you should be getting this in on your own. We need this aerobic base as we prepare for the fall racing season.
