It seems lately I have too much business to take care of and have no space for bloviating. That’s okay because it is for real NOW!!!! Only the strong and determined will make it through the next three Saturday runs. That is the bad news; the good news is if you make it through the next three Saturdays the Enemy will have no chance against you when you face him on 10-10-10.
Hello, my name is Joe Werner. I am the Oak Forest site coordinator of CARA’s marathon training program in the southwest suburbs. Along with your group leaders I want to welcome you to our website and hopefully to our training site. CARA offers the best training program in all of Chicagoland. It is my opinion that our site has the most dedicated group leaders. We are big enough that a group surrounds everybody and still small enough that your group leaders will know your name. I will know your name and your face, though sometimes I have trouble putting them together. This makes our site the best site CARA has. We run from Yankee Woods, which is located at 165th and Central Ave in Oak Forest. We run through Tinley Park, Orland Park and eventually run into Palos Heights. Announcements start around 6:45am, which allows our runs to start promptly at 7:00am.
