Misfits,

Just wanted to thank all those who came out to the third annual Gobbler Gallop, twas fun!!!! Weather cooperated and we had a couple of new faces out there, Karen and Dan.... Thank you to Stan, the "Shot Glass" start, that was awesome. This years' winner was a repeat, Timmy Hunckler took home the coveted skull trophey, followed closely by Kristen (me) and Karen not far behind. We want to give a shout out to this years' youngest finisher, Shain Wade (10 y/o) good job!

FYI, Sunday's run is scheduled for Big Rock at 8:30 a.m. Al and I will not be in attendance, but please feel free to go on without us.

Note that this weeks' runs will not be super intense as this is our cool down week for the Tecumseh marathon. If you feel you need to add mileage, please do so!

Now to next weeks' running schedule:

Monday, 11/30 @ 8:30 a.m. Silver Springs, 2 to 3 5K loops (Al has to try out his new shoes) with breaks in between to work on speedwork

Wednesday, 12/2 @ 8:30 a.m. Big Rock Forest Preserve, 4 to 6 miles

Thursday, 12/3 @ 8:30 a.m. Virgil Gilman meet at Bliss Woods Forest Preserve 5 miles

Friday, 12/4 @ 8:30 a.m. Silver Springs 5K

Saturday, 12/5 On your own, we'll be at Tecumseh

Sunday, 12/6 @ 9 a.m. Easy 4 miles on the Fox River Trail. Meet at trail head at the park just off of Rt 34 east side of Fox River.

If you need directions to any of the above locales please call Al, (630)546-1176 or Kristen (630)605-1255

Special note, with the winter season upon us, is there anyone out there that has a bike and trainer or is planning on getting a bike and trainer for some group indoor rides?

Lastly, for those who ordered Misfit running club T-shirts, they are scheduled to arrive this week....HOORAY!

Peace out and happy running

Kristen and Al Wade

Marking the coures

Hey Misfits,

If anyone would like to help us mark the course out at Silver Springs for the Gobbler Gallop feel free to join us. We'll meet at the boat launch at 8:30 a.m. Thanksgiving morning (the day before the run). Shouldn't take more than an hour. Remember if you haven't RSVP'd to the evite, please do so. I'm hard at work making the shirts and I want to have enough for everyone who pays to get one. Remember, bring $10 and everyone's welcome back at our house following the run for beer and bagels.

This year we're trying something fun, thanks to Stan Towers' suggestion we'll be doing a "shot glass" start..... I'll have a couple of options available, but they probably won't be top shelf...

Run happy

Kristen

Good turnout

Hey Misfits,
