Master Sergeant Jan Speaks~

Sunday morning, 7:30 A.M. - Warm, not hot, no wind, no sun, no humidity!!! That's what I'm predicting!!!

Go, Abe's Army!! See you at the finish line.

Don't forget the Abe's Army Picnic, Tuesday, August 19, 5:45 at Lincoln Park. It's being catered by Turasky's and will include something vegetarian!! Abe's Army always offers something for everyone!! If your leader hasn't taken a head count of your group, please let me know if you're planning to attend. I've only have about one half of the leaders respond with a count. Hate to not have enough for everyone, but hate to pay for no-shows.

Please remember to check the Abe's Army blog regularly. That's where you'll be getting updates on ongoing events and information such as the routes and training schedule for Advanced Abe's.

So, eat some pasta Saturday night, sleep well and don't go out too fast!! Good luck to EVERYONE!!

The first training for Advanced Abe's has been changed. Instead of running the 12Ks of Christmas, the route will be the "Half Wits--Panera to FitClub West" . The route is 7.05 miles long. It is an out and back course. A water stop will be located at the FitClub West which is around the half way point.
