Well, we needed it!

I don't know about you, but I have some very happy shrubbery right now! Sadly, it also means I will have to mow again soon. Of greater sadness though, is that we didn't get to run this week.

For a little self-training, I would ask that you do the following this week:

K-2: Warm up run for about 10 minutes; stretch; run for another 10 minutes.
3-6: Warm up run for about 10 minutes; stretch; run for another 15 minutes.
7-8: Warm up run for about 15 minutes; stretch; run for another 20 minutes.

The pace for the warm up run should be nice and steady. The pace for the second run should be a little faster - you should be able to talk, but not comfortably.

Sunday at 4PM will be an optional practice at the Dominican Campus. I would really like to get the 7th and 8th graders over there, but I understand weekend schedules can be very difficult.

I know Monday is a school holiday, but I would still like to have practice at 5:30 at J.T. Moore.

Here's a link to some information on a common cross country malady, side stitches!

Run well!
