Terry will correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe this will be the last Tuesday of TRY at 5:30. Next week we will start at 5:00. The last TRY run of the year will be the Lights on the Lake Stroll on November 15 (http://www.lightsonthelake.com/). [Terry's comments - Kelly is exactly right...as always. Due to lack of daylight we have to move the start time for TRY earlier. I know this 5 o'clock start time means some of you aren't able to make it...but unfortunately, there is nothing else to be done. So, starting next week - we will start at 5 PM. Also of note is that there is only 6 weeks left of TRY. Lights on the Lake is starting a week early this year, so the final TRY outing will be on Nov 15th as Kelly pointed out...doing a "fun" group paced run under the lights.]
Today was the Chicago Marathon! We had two TRY members, Ally and Sue, complete the race today. It was a warm day, and I am looking forward to hearing about their races. Make sure to congratulate them both :) [Terry again - I would also like to note that "new girl Jen" ran her first half marathon two Sundays ago as part of the Wineglass Marathon race. Congratulations Jen on achieving a new goal!]
Tuesday will be a 5 mile tempo run. We will do a 1 mile warm up, 3 miles at a faster pace (15-30 seconds slower than 10k pace), and 1 mile cool down. If you want more information on tempo runs, you can start with this article from Runner's World.

For everyone skipping the tempo, I recommend trying to either increase your speed or distance from the previous weeks. You will see the improvements if you continue to work at it!
