For week of Oct 14

Week of Monday, October 14

Do your PR survey please!

Dress properly for practices – be prepared for cold and warm weather.  Hydrate and eat properly.  It appears we are getting bit by the anemia bug a little again.  With all the pre-season warnings I was hoping this would not be the case.  Eat a smart, balanced diet every day.

This is a BIG week for our team/program.  We will celebrate our seniors by Wednesday with a JV race, a “senior night”, and a picnic after on Wednesday and the varsity will be running in the post-season next Saturday at the district meet. 

Wednesday’s meet will include ourselves, St. Ignatius, Mentor, and Lakewood.  In my eyes the microscope will be on us for an evening, so its important to be enthusiastic, well-prepared, and focused on putting together a quality event for all the athletes.  That is our job as hosts.  This will be addressed more in a separate email.

The district 7 is tentatively set but will be officially announced at Tuesday’s practice so that those not running districts can focus on their Senior Night Race.

Monday, October 14 – after school at Memorial Field.  Done by 5:15.

Top group 3 x 1600 of 400 on/400 off

Tuesday, October 15 – at Mastick after school until 5:15.  pre-meet and easy mileage for all.  We will also learn the course and get it clean.  Be ready to pick walnuts off the ground!
