Welcome to October, also known as race month! This is what many of you have been training for over the past three months. When race day arrives, do not forget those long, sweaty Saturday morning miles or the sprints around the track when the heat index was flirting with the century mark. Every drop of sweat over the summer, every single one will help carry you across the finish line… and that’s a promise! If you have any questions about race day, race week, nutrition, hydration, etc., please ask Coach Jake or Coach Tony, and the sooner the better.
After the Race
Does the family still get together and run after Prairie Fire? We’re glad you asked, and the answer is yes! We will still meet every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday, but these will be maintenance runs. In other words, there will not be any specific training guidelines, but there will be suggested mileage and routes. Also, there tends to be more breakfast gatherings after our Saturday runs! However, if you have an upcoming race, and still desire a training plan, just let one of the coaches know and we will be happy to help accommodate you!

Board Updates
Over the past year and change, TJ’s Running Inc. has grown beyond any of our expectations. We went from two coaches learning on the fly to an official not for profit entity with six board members. We would not have achieved most or all these accolades without our Secretary, Elizabeth Walker. Unfortunately, Elizabeth has decided to step down as Secretary, so we are looking for someone to fill her shoes.
We need someone to continue Elizabeth’s work maintaining our relationship with Wichita Screen Printing, take notes during our board meetings, help plan our Tiger Trot 5K next April, and perform other duties as needed. Please let us know if you are interested, and if you have any questions. And since we are a not for profit organization, some companies give their employees credit for their volunteer work.
🎂 Happy Birthday!
Haley Koser — 10/2
We only have one October birthday!?!
