Saturday Practice

Another tough but good practice last night with over 24 people attending. As I walked around last night and asked people how they did at their weekend races there were nothing but Personal Bests and Age Group awards. Your hard work is paying off.

For those of you that are still considering coming out - now is the time to give it a try. We have a wide range of abilities and ages so you'll have someone to run with. You have nothing to lose except a few minutes off of your race times.

Now back to Saturday - meet at Little Red Schoolhouse 9700 s. 104th Ave. at 8am for a long run.

Mark your calendar for our track meet "The Sombrero Summer Classic" June 23rd in Mokena. More details to follow.
