ATHLETES:


Congratulations on winning the 2003 CARA CLUB CIRCUIT for the 7th year in a
row and the 14th time out of 15 years! You are an extraordinary group of
athletes!!


Our 10th outright win was the marathon giving us 150 points which was way
ahead of everyone else.


Practice on this Wednesday night should be outdoors. You will be running
200's with a 200 jog so that you can get in some speed work before your last
run or races of the year. You will run 8 to 10 and they should be very
fast. So, get in a good warmup and do some stride outs before we start.
You can meet inside by the weight room before 6:00 PM. Melissa will lead
the stretching after practice in side the indoor track.


Mark you calendars for the Pub Run which will be held on Saturday December
13th. We start at Niles West and end at Barnaby's.


Melissa has a big group going to San Diego for the 1/2 Marathon on January
18th - Sunday morning.
Our group that is going to Ireland in 2004 is at 20. You can still sign up
to run with us in Dublin, Cork and Galway. We leave on July 3rd for 10
days.


Your team ran very well at Westchester. Results are attached. Sr. Kathleen
and Bob McKeague both won prizes in the drawing. The overall winner in the
drawing for $1000.00 was Bob Jones! If he ever comes back to Pizza Night,
maybe he will buy you a beer with his winnings - just kidding.


There is no formal practice on the Wednesday night before Thanksgiving.

Keep running fast.
