Marathon Weekend

Saturday -Practice is 8:30 at Little Red Schoolhouse but due to the marathon and other races - be sure to check in on the blog if you'll be there, so you don't run alone.

Marathoners - the traditional TT&T meeting place is in the Hilton on Michigan Ave. Go in the main entrance on Michigan and go up the big circular staircase and meet on the second floor. There are washrooms. This is a good place to meet and wish your teammates well. Many of you said you would be there at 6:30.

There are a big contingent of marathoners from the team. Good luck to:
Bruce
Tyler
Tim B
Mike
John
Ricky
Carlos
Francisco
Tim H
Darcy
Jim Raymond
Karen
Brian O'Donnell

Carb Up, Hydrate Up, Follow Your Race Plan and remember by running smart skulls don't get passed they do the passing. Listen to your respiration - it's the tell-tale sign if your running too hard.

Mark the calendar

Tinley Turkey Trot - November 9th - everyone should be there.
Pub Crawl Nov 22nd

Good luck to all you Marathoners! Run fast, run smart.
I'll be running Saturday morning, but I'd rather go to 40 Acres than Little Red. Let me know via post or email (samann@baxwood.com) if you'd like to meet at either one. 8:30 works for me.

Marathoners:

Here are a few personal things I have learned from marathoning.

1. Don't forget your chip;
2. Don't forget your bib;
3. Don't forget your gels, pills and other supplements;
4. Wear something flashy, that will set you apart from the thousands of others;
5. Get pumped up, but don't go out to fast. Stay under control;
6. Keep within yourself,focus.

Remember Skulls.........
"There are no shortcuts to anyplace worth going."
See you at the Hilton.

Jerry/Steve:

Are you going to do the loop (long run only) @ 40 Acres Saturday a.m.?

I'm hoping to do the big loop, but I could probably be convinced to take the shortcut. Jerry's an animal, so he may run the whole thing twice. . . I plan to go clockwise so we can hit Big (or Little) Bertha near the end.
