Wednesday Practice Jan 28
I've got a cool workout planned. It came to me in a dream.
We'll meet at Lincoln-Way East High school on LaGrange Road and Colorado Ave in Frankfort. Meet in the lobby of the main entrance.
If the weather is not too bad we will do a three mile warm-up on the roads, then head inside for the workout. Be sure to have something to wear for running inside. We will start the run at promptly 6:30.
If you cannot make it on time, you'll know we'll be back to the building by 6:55 or so. The actual track workout will start at 7.
You also have the option of doing your warm-up inside on the track.
These workouts will be at tempo pace. We will do fartlek, progressive runs and longer intervals.It is too early in the season to run these workouts all out. So leave your speed at the door.
Good tough workout on the trails and roads on Saturday - were you there?

Mushers,
Let's meet a Little red Schoolhouse at 8:30 for our workout.
But Rich there is a lot of snow on the trails.
"I know but snow builds strength and strength is the foundation for speed and speed breeds PRs and wins races."
Anyway we'll be on the trails for about 25% of the run then the roads for the rest.
Do some core work - drink lots and stay healthy.

And of course we'll be doing plyo drills.
The objective for the next 6 weeks is to build strength and improve our aerobic developement. The long runs and the hils we are doing on Saturday are a big part of this so try to make both workouts when you can.

Welcome Back
We embark on our journey to fitness and racing excellence on Saturday January 10th.
We'll meet at Little Red Schoolhouse at 8:30 if the trails are run-able. Always check the blog Friday evening for the final word.
In the meantime do miles, plyos and core strengthening exercises. We'll be doing some plyos and core work after our indoor track workouts starting Jan 14th. On the track we'll mainly do tempo paced and progressive runs.
If you live in the L-W school district be sure to stop in one of the park district offices to get your resident's pass to run indoors at L-W East. I think there is one near downtown Frankfort.
If anyone else needs one we'll talk off-line.
See you soon.

Shhhhhh.... We're taking a long winter nap.
We'll be back on Saturday January 10th.
Merry Christmas & Happy New Year
Twas the week before the marathon and all through the track
The runners were doing a warm-up, a short out & back
Their flats were laced on their feet with
hopes that their coach would soon be there.
The runners were striding, their faces in pain
While dreams of P.R.s danced in their brain
And Kirk with his new hat and Rich said do ladders
Out on the track the runners did scatter
When out on the infield arose such a racket.
It seems that Darcy was wearing her three Tinley jackets.
Around the track Group1 flew like a flash
As usual Eaton ran like it was a 100 yard dash
When what to our wondering eyes should appear
But a fired-up Group 2 led by angry Keifer
The group of runners appeared so lively & quick
I knew in a moment they ran a 76
Now Jerry, now Gary now Mary now Austin
On Raymond on Miller on Steve O and Tyler
To the end of the track to the end of the wall.
Now dash away! Dash away! Dash away all!

Merry Christmas TT&T!!!
Wednesday Dec 24th. 8:30 a.m. at 40 Acres This is our popular Christmas Eve morning run. After the run we usually have hot chocolate, schnapps, bagels, donuts etc. If you can make it blog-in and say what you're bringing so we don't have too much duplication. Some proactive skulls are already on the board. If the 40 Acres Parking Lot is closed go directly east across LaGrange Road and park in that lot.

Bar Crawl Details -UPDATED!
The 2nd annual TTT Bar Crawl is Sat. Nov. 15th starting at 7:00PM. This is the event you've all been training for when you're not running. This is a nice way to finish off a successful season. Everyone is welcome to participate whether you're a seasoned veteran or someone who has only been out with us a couple times. Here's the plan... Start at Paddy B's on 143rd and SW Highway. Meet at 7:00 PM. After we get stared at by the locals and regulars who call this place home, we head to Hooters by foot at warm-up pace. Once at Hooters we will achieve payback for the staring we received at Paddy B's. A quick pitcher there, and we're off to Casa Margaritas, then after tres Margaritas grande, we run rapido to Bar Louie where we cap the evening. Note we will spend approximately 1/2 hour at each place. If you can't get to Paddy B's by 7;30 when we leave from there, you can always meet us at Bar Louie around 9:30. Dress in something that looks halfway decent but you can still run in (think TTT jacket and black running pants). Consider parking at Bar Louie or somewhere between there and Paddy B's like Ravinia to begin with so as not to be so far at the end of the night. If I have forgotten something let me know.
