Week of August 28th

Week of August 28th

Be sure to have your watches and don’t forget your shoes! 

Also, not included on the order form was a nice Nike hat with SJA and a winged foot logo on it.  These sell for $25.00.  Some people expressed interest in this and I was told those can be made quickly, so if you’d like one let me know now and we’ll get it printed (and pay later).

Monday, August 28th – Mastick AT run 3:30-5:20. 

Tuesday, August 29th – mileage, lifting, and core at SJA.  Groups 1-2 done by 4:45.  Groups 3-5 done by 5:15.

Wednesday, August 30th – fartlek at Mastick 3:30-5:15. 

Thursday, August 31st – cross train day at SJA 3:15-5:00.

Friday, September 1st – Overnight trip to Cedarville, Ohio.  We ask each athlete to contribute $10.00 toward the cost of the hotel and meals.  This will be collected as we get on the bus to leave.

We will provide dinner Friday night, breakfast Saturday morning, and lunch on Saturday (and hotel).

Hotel:  Comfort Suite, 121 Raydo Circle, Springfield, 45506
                    (937) 322-0707

Bus bus leaves at noon, so have your stuff downstairs and loaded beforehand.  We are headed straight to the course to have our pre-meet practice, so be dressed for that (don’t travel in school uniform!).  Please inform the teachers of your afternoon classes that you will not be in attendance.  You are responsible for any work you miss!

The course is at the DeWine family Farm 2587 Conley Road, Cedarville, OH, 45314

The full information packet from the host school (Thomas Worthington), is attached.

                For athletes not traveling to the overnight, it would help you greatly to still run a 5k so you’re on the same page as everyone.  Here is a link to a 5k in the City of Brooklyn that is on Saturday morning.  Consider signing up and running!  Let me know how you do (I’ll be looking up results).  There is a 5 miler in Westlake as well if you are so inclined.


Saturday, September 2nd – 1st race of the season!!!
9:20 – begin warm-up
10:20 – SJA v Thomas Worthington (all 46 of our travelers are expected to race as of now)
11:00 – cool down
11:30 – team meeting and snacks.  If any parent would like to help pitch in for setting up tables and some snacks for the team for post-race re-fueling, please let me know!

A more specific plan will be given to athletes Friday night, but the general idea is to eat a light meal at 7:00, leave the hotel at 8:15, race at 10:20, watch all the races after us, leave at 1:00, stop for lunch, return to SJA between 5:00-6:00pm.

Sunday, September 3rd – recover.  Hiking, walking, bicycling, swimming, lifting weights are all good ideas.  Use the muscles the day after your first race to help get the ache out!

Monday, September 4th – Labor Day long run.  Instead of working out with Woodridge again, we are going to go back to the Labor Day long run at Station Road Bridge parking lot in Brecksville.  It is part of the CVNP.  8:30-10:30.
