Fits,
I know it's short notice but we're planning a group run tomorrow along the Virgil Gilman Trail starting at Bliss Woods in Sugar Grove @10 a.m. snow or sun! Plan on 5-6 total on an out and back course!
It sure would be nice to see some new faces out there! I know myself, Stan, Al and Danie Moravec will be there.....will you?
Run Happy!

tooting my own horn!
Fits,
Last weekend I would deem a success! Al, myself, and the Hains completed what many know as the toughest race in the survivor series due to the unrelenting cold, icy trail conditions and distance. The 15K was slow, but it was slow for everyone! However, Kristen managed to pull out a second overall female and 1st in her age group finish while Al finished 2nd in his age group. Yeahhhh Wades!
Compounding sore muscles is nothing new to the Wades. Rising bright and early Sunday morning after tieing one on at the SWAT dinner, the Wades competing in the YMCA indoor triathlon. Kristen finished 1st overall female logging over 14 miles while Al placed second overall logging 15 plus miles. The course was designed around the distance you could cover in 20 minutes of swimming, biking and running with transition times omitted!
Peace out boy and girl scouts!

Wetsuit for sale
Fits,
Selling a Men's Orca Equip fullsleeve triathlon wetsuit on Ebay starting bid, $115. Will you be the proud owner of this wetsuit? Think about it . . .
Also and MORE IMPORTANTLY . . . The Misfit King and Queen (Al and Kristen) are planning one crazy indoor marathon in the coming weeks at the Vaughan Center in Aurora, IL. For $2, you can take part in this wacky event. If interested it looks like we will either run all 26.2 miles upstairs 1/6th of a mile track = 158 laps or we can shake things up a bit and run upstairs and downstairs. The benefit of the downstairs track is larger sweeping curves and the opposite direction of travel.
Peace out runners!!!!!

Survivor 10K
Hey Fits!
Despite the bone chilling cold, Al and Kristen trekked to Rockcut State Park for the second installment of the Survivor Trail series.
There were frozen lake crossings X 4, blustering wind chills through open fields, snow, ice and believe it or not runners in bare legs. But even with all of that, Al finished the 6.2 miles in 46:17 and Kristen with a time of 50:something. But hey, Kristen finished second female O/A and first in her age group!
If interested the next run, a 15K will be held the third Saturday of February (19th) at noon at Rockcut State Park.
Run Happy!
