Some Reminders

Some reminders as we continue through June and head into the start of team-training in a couple of weeks!

First, we will be doing pool workouts again this year, on Wednesdays during July. In order to participate each runner needs to bring a signed copy of the pool waiver (it is attached on the links to the right). Girls, you do not need to be a pro-swimmer, just comfortable in the water. Girls can bring the waivers once we start in July, or they can bring them to Coach Aldrich during the easy runs the next two weeks.

Speaking of the easy runs, we are into our second week of the June build-up! This week, new runners and freshmen should aim to run three times this week for 22 minutes, and veterans should run three times for 30 minutes. We have had a good group of girls showing up at the gazebo to run! This week (June 23-29) we will have a group up there with Coach Aldrich at 8am on Tuesday and Thursday. These runs have been easy in pace, and fun in nature. The girls have picked routes and Coach Aldrich has enjoyed getting to know some of the runners!

Don't forget about getting your sports physical! We need all forms on file by August 1 in order for you to participate once the regular season begins. Try not to wait until the last minute to get those done.

Lastly, while it seems far off, the Classic at Mastic is approaching! This is a great race that the team has done in the past, and it's a great race to get some confidence on a cross country course before our official season begins. This year's race is on August 13, 2014, and registration tends to fill up early, so register if you are wanting to run. Let's get as many girls as possible out there! The link is HERE to the registration page.

Remember to hydrate and fuel well! It's getting warm and humid out there and will only get worse this summer. Make sure your body is adequately fueled so that you can get the most out of your runs and workouts. Enjoy the week!
