Schedule Alert! The Fort will have limited classes the following days:
Thursday, July 15 - There will be one evening class. (Time to be decided)
Friday, July 16 - One morning class will be available. (Time to be decided)
Saturday, July 17 - Team Saturday 5K will take place at Moraine Hills at 9AM
Monday, July 19 - One or two classes will be available. (Times to be decided)
A big thank you goes out to Pete, as he has offered to step in and coach a couple classes while we are away. Your coaching staff is going to be out at the Games spectating, and I'm even going to be a JUDGE at the event! Woo Hoo! With the limited schedule, it might be hard to make it to the Fort, but use this time as your opportunity to REST. I know we have quite a few CrossForters who are feeling a little banged up these days. I would encourage you to have fun, play, and get some active rest. Everyone who is on an unlimited membership will have their membership extended by 4 days to offset the days we will be on a limited schedule.
If you are interested, there will be a "Team Saturday" 5K run taking place at 9AM on Saturday July 17th at Moraine Hills. Yeah running!
For those that aren’t familiar, here’s the address for Moraine Hills:
1510 S. River Road
McHenry, IL 60051
Everybody should park in the Pine Hills lot. There’s a sign to the left and about 20 parking spots which should be enough. There’s plenty of room in the lot to warm up before beginning the run as well. Garth and Audra are the official "5K committee", and they'll be leading the way down the trail.
If you're interested in joining the 5K run, then please visit the events page, and register so Garth and Audra know how many people will be attending.

I hope everybody is able to make it out! We'll have somebody keeping time and we're going to set up a water table at the halfway point. Good times

To avoid the need for a water table, I'm bringing this...

Interesting. I'd never thought of joining a group or forming a group to go running. Sounds like it works, though I can see it getting too competitive for me.

Competitive is what it's all about. What if you're trying to outrun a mugger, a knife wielding mad man or a bear? That's when it gets really competitive! Wouldn't you rather run with a group of friends to encourage you along rather than stab you in the back?
