We have some good news for runners and other patrons of Washington Park...
Thanks to the leadership of the Springfield Park District Board and Staff, the Washington Park tennis court pro shop restrooms will be open to the public every Tuesday and Thursday evening from 5-8 pm until the park's shelter restrooms (near the playground) open this spring.
So, we'll see you at the tennis courts on Tuesday and Thursday evenings for our Half Wits runs!

Thanks for the update Tim.
That's why you are the best.
Congrats on your national honor.
Someone should post the details.
Tim Butler is being awarded with the Road Runners Club of America's Rod Steele National Volunteerism Award:
(from the RRCA website):
"This award is named in memory of Rod Steele who was killed in a plane crash. Rod Steele was a well-known, dedicated volunteer of the DC Road Runners Club and a long time supporter of the RRCA.
To be a nominee for this award is the ultimate reward a member can receive from his or her club. All those who have been nominated for this award have made a great contribution to their club and the sport. Being one who devotes the
time, work and dedication required to be the most outstanding volunteer in their club is a greater achievement than
will ever occur at the finish line of a race. A person who contributes over and over with such intensity for others is the
real winner. . . We hope this award will become a symbol that will influence members in each club to become their club's outstanding volunteer. . . placing an emphasis on this program will do more to improve the number and quality of club volunteers than any reward system and with little cost or effort."
Congrats to you Tim. Your actions speak for themselves as you continue to inspire others both on and off the road.
oh, and by the way - check out www.flyingpigmarathon.com. It is held the weekend of the National RRCA convention where awards are given. There is a full and half-marathon, as well as a relay race (4 people to a team).
CONGRATULATIONS!! You are most deserving!!
Great news about the restrooms. Katie and I were running at the Park this afternoon...Over the past 2 years, we have "Port-A-Potty stories that would put the one in the newspaper to shame!!!!
