Saturday - No Practice but...

5Kers - run the Shorewood Scoot on Saturday.

Marathoners run the Chicago 1/2 on Sunday. Legally or otherwise.

Skulls do both.

This must have been when Neumann was 17, right?

Two important details omitted: the date of the race, and where to sign up. . .
JR, I know your legs aren't up to speed, but don't tell me your brain's on IR, also?

Steve, you are a need to know only basis. The race was held 9/11. I intentionally ommitted the date so as not to entice anyone to sign up for the Popcorn instead of the Scoot.
My announcement was merely to acknowledge the accomplishment of a couple of old Skulls who seemingly maxed out before their time.

Get that Scoot R.D. to shift his race date by a day or week and bring a carload of Land of Lincoln runners to compete in Valpo for a very tough 5 mile race.

There is also team competition, and a highly competetive team in Valpo called The Ridge Runners. Taking them down in their own back yard could develop a signifigant rivalry.
