Welcome to the Half Wits 2008!We had a great crowd turn up for our first Half Wits run of the season...especially given the weather we had just the day before! Let's hear your stories and thoughts (if you want to comment--or read them--click on "comments" below).
I hope everyone felt good after the run. If you struggled a little yesterday, that's OK...just stick with us. We'll get ya through the half marathon.
Just a couple quick reminders:

2. Please complete an emergency contact & waiver form and get it back to me. I will have these forms at our runs.

Quick question, on the blog it noted that we will meet at Washington Park on Tuesday, however on the sheet that I picked up on Saturday it noted that all Tuesday and Thursday runs will meet at Lincoln Park. Will we meet at Washington Park on Tuesdays and Lincoln on Thursdays? Thanks
Sorry about the confusion on the Tu/Th place. When I printed those sheets a few weeks ago we were planning on Lincoln Park because of the restroom issue at Washington Park.
We will now be meeting at Washington Park in the tennis court parking lot on both Tuesdays and Thursdays, 5:30 pm.
I am hopeful that the tennis court building will be open (we've been talking with the park district) for people to use restrooms.
Thanks for asking!
Congrats to all who made their first run this last weekend. I wimped out because I was pretty sore shoveling a lot of drives the previous day. Sometimes you gotta keep your ego in check. Hope to catch you all in the following Sat. runs.
T-Thurs will be tough for me due to my cross training schedule.
Nice to see new HalfWits.
Chuck, are you doing the T-thurs KB workouts?
Anne,
Yep. That is my cross training schedule. T, Thurs KB workouts @ 6pm with Bring the Pain Wayne!
You have to welcome fatigue...
sounds like anne b knows all about All Pain Wayne!
LOL!!!Kari, what is your favorite All Pain Wayne quote?
'this ain't panera and I'm not the muffin man' LOL!!
Hey, this could be fun! anyone else have a favorite Wayne quote to share?!
"DOOOOOOOOOWWNNNNNNNNNNNNNN....up!
DOOOOOWWWWWWWWNNNNNNNNNNNN...up!"
REPEAT OVER AND OVER until your quads give out!!!!
10! 9! 8!... 10! 9! 8!...10! 9! 8!
until FINALLY he gets down to 1!
THE GUY SERIOUSLY NEEDS TO LEARN HOW TO COUNT DOWN FROM 10!!!
When do you usually go Anne?
My favorite: "YOU GOTTA WANT IT!" and "ARE YOU A MOTIVATOR OR A DEMOTIVATOR?"
I was thinking about welcoming fatigue on Saturday's run - but I got tired of thinking 'bout it! LOL!
(Penny and I ran a bit extra - okay 12 miles - that's why the pic in the previous post looks SOOOO
bad!
see y'all Thursday - can't be there tomorrow!
Gonna need extra blinking lights with this kinda weather!!!
I'm laughing soooo hard...just got back from Wayniac's class. He was surprisingly mellow tonight. The songs were a random mixture of Michael Jackson, Red Hot Chili Peppers, the BeeGees and Cheryl Crow, to name a few. We did not do any butt burners!!!!!
Kari, I usually go Monday and Wednesday (Level 2 class). I'd love to switch up a level but those evenings work better for me,
Last night was different. Less intense than the Tues, Thurs 6 pm workouts. I did have fun seeing fellow runners there. But being in a less intense class, it doesnt matter, it matters how much effort you put into it. I still had sweat pouring from me.
One of my fav quotes.
"The easiest workout was your last workout!"
Tuesdays 6pm and Saturday 9am if I'm not running.. (If I run, I'll try and get a noon class in).. Haven't tried back to back running/kickboxing yet..
I hurt just thinking about it!
