Pub Crawl - Saturday May 21st Tinley

Pub Crawl
NO PRACTICE SATURDAY - DO A RACE INSTEAD
We had a great turn out last year, so whether you’ve run with us once or every day this year, this is the time to come out. The pub crawl will start Saturday May 21st at 7:30 at Cousins Bar & Grill at 17704 Oak Park Ave in Tinley. It is across the street from Bailey's where we will be winding up the evening, so park in that big lot and you're all set. If you’re planning on eating, get there earlier and order food right away, as we will depart around 8PM sharp!

For first timers: This is not a race… we all participate together and move at a very comfortable/slow pace, so no one should feel they can’t keep up. Plus this year all places are within ¼ mile or so from the next one. The only mystery is will Carl have an undisclosed mystery location on this year's pub crawl?!?

If you would like to join in but cannot make the start, you can call Carl’s cell: 630-854-6266 or Rich’s cell: 630-697-1499 during the evening to find out where we are going to be so you can meet up. If you coming out late to meet us at the end, we should arrive at Baily's around 10PM. If I’ve missed anything or you have questions, just comment on the blog under this post. Hope to see you all there.

Wednesday Practice 5/11

We're going back to the track. Meet at Tinley Park High School (175th Street 2 blocks east of Ridgeland). Get there about 6:15-6:30. Warm-up on the track. The workout will start at 6:45.

We'll be doing 800s. Since nearly everyone has done a race it's a good time to double check what pace you should be running these intervals.
http://www.mcmillanrunning.com/mcmillanrunningcalculator.htm
Log into the McMillan site and plug in a recent race time. It will then give you a chart on what paces to run for your workouts.

For Wed. look at the column Speed Workouts for Long distance runners. That's the pace you should be running. Let me know if you have any questions.

Shirts are in. Please come by to pick-up. I want to take a team photo after practice of everyone wearing their new shirts that I can send to the sponsor.
