Weekly Update for the Week of August 28

"I always loved running...it was something you could do by yourself, and under your own power. You could go in any direction, fast or slow as you wanted, fighting the wind if you felt like it, seeking out new sights just on the strength of your feet and the courage of your lungs." –Jesse Owens

This season is going by so fast!

We only have two midweek trainings left.  Make sure to come out this Wednesday.  If you come late and can’t find us, call a coach!

We are going to have a Potluck party at Marianne's House on September 10th after training at Busse Woods. Everyone is welcome to join. Expect to see a Evite in your mail box in the next few days for details and what to bring. 

Saturday is our next all team. PLEASE WEAR YOUR TNT GEAR. It helps all the coaches identify you on the course. 

You only have a couple of more trainings to experiment.  See the coach’s tip  for a reminder of the things you should be experimenting with before your race.

Chicago Half folks – your event is quickly approaching!  You will have your race prep clinic after your 60 minute training on Saturday.

Don’t forget to bring a snack, drink, or other food item to sell as a fundraiser for after training.  I would recommend bringing some kind of box or jar for people to donate and a sign for your suggested donation amount in case you are still training while people are buying your item.
