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.
'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 care
In 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!

Depending on how deep the snow is we may move practice to 40 acres on Saturday so we can hit the roads if needed. Check back tomorrow evening.

Welcome back to the states John.
What's your rank these days?
I've heard Raymond saying if he beats you in a race - he will strip you of your rank and we'll have to call him Colonel or whatever.
In the television program about Jamie Parks - two TT&T alumni make a guest appearance - Alex Mauritz and Karl Clauson.

Sorry we missed this mornings run. We were late and couldn't find anyone. The donuts we had were good :)

The Forest preserves were locked
(all of them) so We waited for a little while by swallow cliffs south and then went to the Fire house on 123rd st. Short, rainy run, but the bagels, hot chocolate+, and the cookies were refreshing.
