Wednesday Practice 12/1

Headlamp run #2

Bring your headlamp if you have one. However if you don't you should be okay because a majority of us will.

The location is in Orland Park - Take either 135th or 143rd to 80th Ave and turn east on 139th.http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&source=s_d&saddr=&daddr=41.638592,-87.812201&hl=en&geocode=&mra=mift&mrsp=0&sz=16&sll=41.638571,-87.81209&sspn=0.0072,0.020792&ie=UTF8&z=16 Be ready to go at 6:30. We'll run for one hour. We'll north head towards Lake Katherine.

As the year winds down it's a good time to start a strengthening program:
Lunges
Single Leg 1/4 squats (close eyes to work on balance)
Hold a squat position against a wall.
Single Leg stands - trace the alphabet in the air with the other leg
Core Work - Planks, Crunches, Side Crunches, Back Extensions
Try to work your legs 3 x week and core 3 x week.

We had a lot of injuries this year and we need to be more diligent with our ancillary work.

It was cold in the wind, I don't know if I am going to adapt to winter. Who do I contact for the Florida TT&T branch?

Hey, Carlos invited us to stop by after the run tomorrow for a beverage. He lives a few blocks from the run. Tamales are pending.
