FVM Training run with the Misfits

Hey Fits!

We will be meeting at Island Park behind Harner's Bakery @ 9 a.m. Wednesday morning for our 20 mi (not minute, mile) run. We decided to test drive part of the FVM course so if you missed the official last test drive w/ the Fox Valley Marathon folks, consider this another opportunity for you.

If you don't need to run 20, you can turn around at any point!

If you visit the Fox Valley Marathon website: http://www.foxvalleymarathon.com/event_info/course.htm click on the link for the course map you can follow along.

Per the course, we will be heading south running miles 10.75 to the turnaround at mile 14.25 then north back to our starting point, crossing the river at 56 and continuing north to mile 24 crossing the river under the Metra bridge and head back south with a few deviations from the trail in Batavia then south again to finish the run where we started. Coffee and doughnuts at Harner's to celebrate!

Hope to see more than Stan and my husband there! I love ya both, but a new face once in a while would be refreshing!

Happy running,
SpecialK

Misfits apparel order DEUCE

Hi Fits, 

I've been approached by quite a few people who missed the boat last time we placed an order so I'm looking at placing another. BUT I need to order at least 10 pieces. I've attached examples for each. Be aware, there are men's and women's sizing available. The clothing does take time so please get back to me ASAP with your order. 

Also, if you are interested the pieces run from $32 (running singlets) to $84 (trisuits) everything else is in between. 

 Check out our fan page on facebook for a complete album and prices. Misfits Triathlon and Endurance Club. Feel free to contact me directly via email kristenlwade@yahoo.com or message me on facebook if you're interested in placing an order.                 -K

CENTENNIAL BEACH CLOSED :(

Hey Fits!

Update, update! Found out Centennial Beach is only open on the weekends until Labor day soooo.......that means the Wednesday evening and Thursday morning swimworkouts this week will be cancelled.  Does anyone have any ideas as to where to swim? The Plano Y has drained their pool for maintenance. We could always swim the Fox again? Or the Vaughan center is an option. Let me know if their is an interest. 

Kevin, is there an option to swim at IMSA? 

FYI, if interested in the Misfit field trip this weekend to the Chicago Triathlon Expo on Saturday let me know. I'm thinking of doing a little swimming at the beach to warm up for the race Saturday after the expo and get a feel for the water. So bring something to swim in!
