Final Week of Summer Running

We are heading into our final week of summer running and we've got a busy one ahead of us!

Here is what our schedule looks like:

Monday, July 20: Meet @ Ty Warner Park at 7 am. We will run Tollway.

Tuesday, July 21: Downtown Chicago Lakefront Run! Here's what you need to know for that:

• Please let Coach Wolf or Coach Dunne know on Monday if you are planning on going along on the trip.
• If you are going on the trip, bring $5 for the cost of the train ticket and extra money for breakfast or lunch at the French Market.
• We will meet at the Westmont train station at 8:00 am. 

We will take the 8:20 am train downtown, then walk from Union Station to the lakefront for our run. After our run, we will walk to the French Market before heading back to Union Station for the 12:30 pm train. We will arrive back in Westmont about 1:11 pm.

Please note: We will NOT be meeting at Ty Warner Park at our normal 7 am time on Tuesday, July 21.

Wednesday, July 22: Meet @ Ty Warner Park at 7 am. We will run Oakbrook

Thursday, July 23: Meet @ Ty Warner Park at 7 am. We will run Sentinel Park

Friday, July 24: Meet @ Ty Warner Park at 7 am. We will go to Waterfall Glen for our run. If you want to run the entire 9.5 miles, Coach Wolf will ride his bike with you.

After Friday, July 24, Coach Wolf, Coach Marose or Coach Dunne cannot contact (as in, we can't organize and direct practice) you until August 12th, which will be the first day of official practice.

Here are some important dates to know for beyond July 24th:

• Monday, July 27-Tuesday, August 11: RUN ON YOUR OWN! Try to run about 4-5 miles each day before practice starts. Take Sunday off, but run Monday through Saturday. Don't lose what you've built up during summer running!
   
• Thursday, August 6: Sport Physicals @ WHS at 5:30 pm. This is a great opportunity at a reduced cost of just $25. A sports physical is not a complete physical, but it will satisfy the requirement that we have an up-to-date physical on hand for sophomores, juniors, and seniors in lieu of a complete physical. Freshmen are REQUIRED to have a full and complete physical on file before they begin high school.
  
  
• Wednesday, August 12, 8:00 AM: First day of practice! We will meet by the stone benches at Westmont High School. This is our normal meeting spot for all practices during the cross country season. From this date until the beginning of the school year, all runners will practice at 8:00 am. Varsity runners will have also have an afternoon practice that will begin at 3:00 pm.
  
  
• Thursday, August 13, 6:30 PM (TENTATIVE): MANDATORY Parent meeting @ WHS. This date may change, but once we know the date is confirmed, we'll let you know.

• Monday, August 24: First day of school! Mandatory practices will switch from 8:00 am to 3:00 pm.
  
  
• Tuesday, September 1: First meet of the season at home at Timothy Christian! Ladies will run at 4:30, the boys will run about 5:00-5:15.
