Saturday Practice 2/24

Meet at Yankee Woods at 8:00. The parking lot is about 164th & Central Avenue.

We had 27 runners at practice last night! Great turnout. If you have any questions e-mail me richm259@comcast.net. Check the blog for the latest practice info and tips.

Also become a fan of TT&T on Facebook.

Don't forget to bring $4 to practice next week so we can get a gift card for the building supervisor at LW.

All newer runners make sure you're running at least 4 times per week. Once with us, one longer run and 2 medium runs. If you're not sure how long these should be ask me at practice.

Wednesday Practice

Note to all newer members of TT&T on Wednesday - finish your warm-up by 6:45 and meet over in the corner of the track where we met last week. I would like to go over with you the philosophy of the team and how we can best make it work for you so you acheive your running goals. I'll be able to answer any of your questions at that time.

Everyone else - warm-up and be ready to go by 7 pm.

Something to think about - several of our Group 2 runners have approached me about Saturday runs. If you are interested in getting together with some of your teammates on Saturday mornings let me know. If we have enough interest I'll try to get something organized.

Saturday Practice 2/5

Meet at 40 Acre Woods at 8 am. Just in case the lot is closed park in the lot on the west side of LaGrange. We'll do most of our run on the roads but we may hit the trails for some quad-building work.

No Practice Tonight - 2/2

I suspect the track will be closed so NO practice tonight.
Have fun running in the snow.

Any ideas on where to run Saturday?

Wednesday Practice 1/2

The status of tomorrow's practice will depend on whether LW East High School shuts down.
If the school is closed - there will be no practice.
If it doesn't close - we may try to get something together depending on the conditions.
Check back tomorrow afternoon for final details.

If you plan to run on your own - treadmill or outside do a 3 mile tempo run. Do your hip strengthening drills too.

We'll be back at it Saturday - location to be announced

Be safe.
