Good Luck Marathoners

There is no formal run scheduled on Saturday. If anyone is interested in running tomorrow at around 8:30 e-mail me richm259@comcast.net

Good Luck Marathoners continue hydrating and keep thinking positive thoughts. The pre-race meeting spot is in the Hilton off of Michigan on that main entrance stairway going to the second floor. Be there at 6:15. Do not follow Jim Raymond's pre-race ritual he has a habit of getting to the line late. Good Luck and may the wind be at your back.

Practice Saturday October 14th

Meet at Little Red School House at 8:30. Marathoners should do no more than 10. But most of that should be at their marathon race pace. 5Kers should run with the maratoners and push in the finish.

Marathoners be sure to taper - lower your mileage considerably next week. However when you do run - get some miles in at exact marathon race pace so your body knows what to expect on 10/22.

Practice Wednesday 10/11

Due to the upcoming marathon and various scheduling issues - the turnout tonight may light however if you are interested go to Tinley Park High School and run on the track. Start the workout at 6:30.

I will not be able to make it. So if you have any questions feel free to e-mail me at richm259@comcast.net
