Master Sergeant Jan Speaks~

Don't forget to use your Springfield Running Center coupons before
May 31. It's a great chance to get those good shoes that you'll be
needing not to mention shorts and socks.


Also, please remember that you can switch groups if you feel the need. You can move up or move down. There's no shame to move down!! Better to move down and be comfortable and complete the program than to try to go too fast, be miserable and end up quitting. NO QUITTING - just adjust! It'll work, I promise. We're in this together and if I can do it, you can do it!!

Very important info to always remember when running on Tuesday nights~

We are NOT to enter the cemetery when running on Tuesday nights. We MUST find alternate routes! An electronic map of the original Abe's Amble course will be provided soon. If looking for hills, there are plenty of hills around Lincoln Park. The cemetery holds their flag lowering ceremony every Tuesday evening and we are not to disrupt this event by running through their area. We will run the entire course when we do our practice run in July. You may run through the cemetery on any other night and/or weekend. It would be great to meet your group at some point on another night/day to do this part of the course.

Thanks!

At least you guys didn't have to worry about anybody getting overheated yet!

I understand the cemetery running rule, but which one of the individuals lowering the flag lacked so much discipline that he was distracted by runners? Who was not focused on what they were doing?

This seems a shame that the cemetery is out because of a few grumpy people.
