Those who stayed home on Wednesday because of the rain missed a good dry workout.

Wednesday Practice

Meet at the track(Tinley Park HS - 175th 2 blocks east of Ridgeland) at 6:30 we'll warm-up on the track & then do a tempo run through the streets of Tinley Park finishing back at the track. We'll start our tempo run at 6:50.
We'll do some strides too.

The plan for the next 10 weeks or so is to mix long intervals, tempo runs and short intervals to create a team of running rock stars. The special needs of our marathoners will be considered weekly. Plan to run your best races of the year between 9/19 and 10/18.

New runners are always welcome. The only thing you have to lose is seconds off of your mile pace.
