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.

Rain, rain, go away

Well our incomplete run certainly wasn't for any lack of effort! What started off as the hottest Tuesday evening run of the summer, turned into the wettest! We will be giving the course another try on Saturday morning at 7:30am for anyone that is interested. We will meet at the starting line of Abe's Amble. You can still park in Lot 21 as usual, or you may be able to find a closer spot depending upon the amount of activity going on at the Fairgrounds in preparation for the Illinois State Fair. One bonus of running on Saturday morning is that we will be able to run the actual course through the cemetary. I will make sure there is water on the course as well. Try and get in some mileage this week and everyone should be in good shape.
Hope to see you all Saturday!

update

I do not think I will be at run group on Tuesday. My daughter has a manditory parents meeting for cheerleading and for some reason my husband does not want to go. Also, if anyone wants to run on Saturday morning email me at brih@casscomm.com. Good luck on Tuesday I know you can do it.

Tuesday Night

I did show up Tuesday night, I know I am crazy. I along with only one other person showed up. I did end up running but waited until the lighting stopped, I am not completely dumb. Actually I love unning in the rain, it is a nice break from all the summer heat. Also, if anyone wants to run the course on Saturday I can do that but it would have to be early like 6:45. I know that is early, but my daughter has to be at a birthday party at 9:00. Just email me at brih@casscomm.com, otherwise I will not be running that early. Good luck to all you ladies running the 2 mile race this weekend. Also, one more update I will not be there next Tuesday night; again my daughter has to be somewhere.

Saturday, July 5th

Great Job Tuesday! Everyone did extremely well. I am not going be able to meet you guys Saturday for a run, but Tara will be running the course at 7:30 am starting at the grandstand. I can run Sunday morning at 7:30 am for anyone that is interested. Please email me or call me if you are interested in Sunday.
