Next week

Hi all

First the paperwork issue. This should have all been turned in last Monday. Below is the most up-to-date list I have. It is also on our website under the link for "roster and medical forms". www.sjaxc.blogspot.com These athletes are not allowed to practice unless this paperwork is turned in, so please bring it Monday! Physicals can be done at the Rocky River Urgent Care on Detroit across from Mitchell's ice cream for $20

Today's time trial was pretty darn good. The results were pretty favorable and here's an example of why - our 13th finisher (Schwind) ran over a minute faster than our 13th finisher when we did this last year at this time. That is significant! Stay healthy and keep progressing! Help each other.

Currently our roster is at 51 athletes. There is hope for an assistant coach soon, but I won't make any official announcements until all the paperwork is in.

Next week marks the last week of summer (for me). I have some teacher days at the end of the week, but we will keep practices in the morning all week.

If possible, make sure you get some cross country spikes soon. We will do part of next Wednesday's practice in them. These can be purchased at a running shoe store like Second Sole in Rocky River (on Detroit across from Rockport plaza) or if you know what you want you can try Dick's. They should not be as expensive as regular running shoes but definitely help performance. Make sure they are NOT sprinter spikes (there is a big difference in the heal). You can get cross country spikes or distance spikes for track - either is fine.
