Steve won his age group up in Libertyville Saturday in the Reach out & Run 5K. Anyone else race - throw it out there.

Practice Wednesday 6:30. Meet at the bike trail parking lot on 151st Street about 1 block west of Harlem. But don't park in the parking lot. Park on Catalina Dr. which is on the South side of 151st Street so we don't get locked in by the FP police. We'll do the famous "bridge to bridge" workout. A tempo run of 3 miles followed by a tempo run of 1.5 miles.

Saturday Practice - On Your Own

Many of the Saturday Regulars are racing this weekend so there will be no official practice.

However if you want to run with someone feel free to use the blog to set something informal up.

1/2 marathoners should be getting in a 10+ mile run this weekend.

See you all Wednesday.

Does anyone have a sense for how dry or wet the trails are? I would like to run at Little Red Schoolhouse on Saturday.

Meet at

We'll do about 5 miles then we'll do two tempo miles in Centinial Park then we'll cool own for a mile. Of course there will be a few hills on the tempo course.

We will start promptly at 6:30 so we can get most of the workout done in the light.

Practice will be on Wednesday this week

We are moving practices back to Wednesday. Details about our practice will be up tomorrow.

Time to start running hills

As we wrap-up a successful indoor season it's time to start some hill work.

On Saturday morning let's meet at the Orland Park Rec Center on 147th & Ravina. We'll incorporate some hills into our usual 8-9 mile run. We'll meet at 8:30.

Practice Wednesday March 5th

NOTE PRACTICE WILL BE ON WEDNESDAY AGAIN. WE CANNOT GET THE TRACK ON TUESDAY.

Meet at LW East High School at 6:30 we'll warm-up in the neighborhood and then do a workout on the track starting around 7:00 p.m. Let's get a good turnout this will probably be our last track workout for a few weeks.

The indoor track has provided a great opportunity to get some leg turnover in anticipation of the tempo and hill workouts coming our way in March.

Try to make the practice and support your teammates.

Practice Saturday March 1

Meet in the parking lot of Tinley Park High School (175th Street, 1 block east of Ridgeland) at 8:30. We'll do a 60 minute run. It might even be in the 30's!

WEDNESDAY Practice 2/27

NOTE PRACTICE IS CHANGED TO WEDNESDAY THIS WEEK.

We cannot run at the track on Tuesday so I am switching the practice to Wednesday. The weather is supposed to suck - so we won't accomplish much outside.

Meet at Lincoln-Way East High School at 6:30 - we'll probably warm-up outside and then be back on the track at 7:00. If you can't make it at 6:30 - just jump in at 7.

A Question

Is there anyone that couldn't make it this week if we moved the practice to Wednesday? We cannot get into the track on Tuesday.

Respond and I'll post the practice location by Monday morning.

Thanks.

Practice Saturday 2/23

Meet at the Orland Park Rec Center on 147th & Ravina Dr. at 8:30 for our Saturday run. There are washrooms there.

Jerry and Kirk had outstanding workouts last night. Keep an eye on these guys to learn their secret.
