  Thursdays	Speed/Track Workout	(4–6 miles)

• The T-Shirts will be here at our next meeting!  We will send out a proof of the T-Shirts with the reminder e-mail so you can decide if you would like to buy one or not.  The prices will be as follows:

  Short Sleeved:  $5.00
  Long Sleeved:  $8.40

  You must be a member of the club (have signed the liability form and paid the $5 dues) to purchase a shirt.  If you paid for a shirt with your dues ($10 total), come pick it up at the meeting!  If you would like to upgrade to a long-sleeved shirt, just bring the difference ($3.40).
