A New Sponsor for the TTT is TeamIndure. Teamindure was formed as a way for individuals to come together in a community to honor those individuals that are running their own health marathons or triathlons with long-term illness. Unlike most of us that enter an event these individuals are forced into a race without any training or experience. They are also not provided the knowledge about the distance to the thime it will take to complete their journey. For those that are fortunate to feel like they have crossed the finish line to remission or a cure, they may never know when they will be forced to start all over again. The only thing they count on is the support of their fans to get them through. If you are looking to race for a cause, contact TeamIndure and talk with them.

Monday Recovery Runs:
Starting at 6 PM from the Payless Shoes (Target Shopping center near corner of Battleground/Lawndale) This is a conversationally paced out and back recovery run along the greenway with distances up to 5k. The greenway is sparely lit, so it is a good idea to bring along a light to see any debris on the greenway.
Track Tuesday:
5:30 AM @ Greensboro Day School Track: Interval focused running. We provide the workout which typically lasts 45-60 minutes. We all turn in circles, so no one gets dropped and you can modify the workout to suit your fitness level.

Fleet Feet Greensboro's website for additional info.
