Tuesday night run-Time change

I will be running at 5:30 from the Washington Park tennis courts for anyone interested. We will probably run 4-5 miles. Sorry, I had forgotten that some of you mentioned you could not make it until 5:30.
Hope to see you there!

Great Job!

It was wonderful to get to sit (not run) and spend time with everyone Tuesday night. I just want to thank you all again for the wonderful gift. It was definitely above and beyond. I can't wait to get my new shoe pouch ID, so I never have to worry about not getting back into my car! This summer was really a great time for me, and I can say with confidence that it was due to the people I had the pleasure of running with. I feel so lucky to have been matched with such a great group of people this year. While I enjoy running, it has always been the company that keeps me coming back and hooked me from the start. As a therapist, I must admit that running has been my own personal therapy/antidepressant over the last few years. I'm sure the physical act of running would be beneficial, but I am certain that without all the laughs and discussions that come with the running, I wouldn't feel quite the same. I hope that you will all continue to run and build on the accomplishments that you have already had. Great job to everyone on making serious improvements in time and running a great race! Don't lose touch! You should all have my cell phone number - don't hesitate to call or email if you would like to get together for a run.

Lovely Day for a Run

Karen and I will both be at Washington Park tonight at 5:45pm at the tennis courts for anyone that would like to meet up and run. We'll plan to run about 4 miles. I don't know about you guys, but I will be running in anticipation of the food I plan to eat later this week at the fair! Great job to Angie, who ran 8 miles on Saturday! Extra funnel cakes for you! Hope to see you all tonight.

Tuesday Night

Sorry, my computer at home has a virus, so I have not been able to update the blog site. I am hoping that George ,Alyssa or Karen can lead tonight. The Governor called a special session at 3pm so I am sure I will be working late tonight. I was thinking the best place to meet would be Washington park by the tennis courts, two times around the big loop is 4 miles and also there is a drinking fountain by the pavillon/park. Good luck on Sunday, and email me if any last minute questions.

Saturday Run

Saturday we will be meeting out a the IDOT Trail at 7:00 am. We can not meet at the Fairgrounds and I think Lincoln Park will be too difficult to get to with all the one way streets. I will have a water stop at the 2 mile mark so we can also get water on the way back. I know the book has us running 8 miles I am game so if the group wants to run a little more we can do that. Also, the trail is marked every half mile so if you are not feeling up to running the full 8 you can easily modify your distance. Hope to see you on Saturday.
