Shhhhhh.... We're taking a long winter nap.

We'll be back on Saturday January 10th.
Merry Christmas & Happy New Year

Twas the week before the marathon and all through the track
The runners were doing a warm-up, a short out & back

Their flats were laced on their feet with
hopes that their coach would soon be there.

The runners were striding, their faces in pain
While dreams of P.R.s danced in their brain

And Kirk with his new hat and Rich said do ladders
Out on the track the runners did scatter

When out on the infield arose such a racket.
It seems that Darcy was wearing her three Tinley jackets.

Around the track Group1 flew like a flash
As usual Eaton ran like it was a 100 yard dash

When what to our wondering eyes should appear
But a fired-up Group 2 led by angry Keifer

The group of runners appeared so lively & quick
I knew in a moment they ran a 76

Now Jerry, now Gary now Mary now Austin
On Raymond on Miller on Steve O and Tyler

To the end of the track to the end of the wall.
Now dash away! Dash away! Dash away all!

Merry Christmas TT&T!!!

Wednesday Dec 24th. 8:30 a.m. at 40 Acres This is our popular Christmas Eve morning run. After the run we usually have hot chocolate, schnapps, bagels, donuts etc. If you can make it blog-in and say what you're bringing so we don't have too much duplication. Some proactive skulls are already on the board. If the 40 Acres Parking Lot is closed go directly east across LaGrange Road and park in that lot.

Wednesday Practice

Join us for our 32nd Annual Holiday Lights Run through Orland Park. Meet at Human Race Sports 152nd & LaGrange and be ready to depart at 6:30.

Sunday Night at 7:00 P.M on Discovery Health there is a hour-long program about Jamie Parks, the local runner that pushes his wife in a wheelchair during races. The show is called Marathon Love.

Saturday Practice

Meet at Little Red Schoolhouse at 8:30.

The course will not be as exciting as the what we did on the sombrero run but there will also be less of a chance of being chased by security personnel.

The Sombrero will return in 364 days - we will anxiously await.

Return of Sombrero

Kiss your significant other - hard on the lips.
Pat your dog on his head.
Give your boss a mischievous wink.

And be at the Human Race on Wednesday Dec 10th at 6:30 SHARP.

Because tonight you run with the sombrero and..........

remember............... the sombrero waits for no one!



Join us after the Sombrero Run at Chiplotes for a burrito feast.

Saturday Practice

We'll leave from 40 Acres at 8:30 and do some trails and single track.

Next Wednesday is the Sombrero Run - "Return of the Sombrero"
