Week of June 21st review
We had an all-time high turnout for the first day - 32 runners!! Sadly the numbers went down and down after. If you have to miss practice, please send me a note so I know.
The focus has been on shorter runs at a better pace than last year. The pace isn't meant to be threatening by any means, but simply more in tune to our ability levels. We've let that slip away over the past year or two.
Wednesday we did a nice repeat 400 workout that was meant to be sub-maximal with big rest, and abs in between. It seemed to go well. This week we will NOT be running at Memorial Field on Wednesday, instead we'll do some hills. We will meet at Cedar Point parking lot (directions below), then jog to the hill from there.
Lastly, since the shirts aren't in yet, you will have one more week to get the $10 special on the 2 t-shirts. After that the cost is $15 (which is still a bargain). Bring your money in please!
Reminders - get good shoes on your feet, run on your own, hydrate, lift/push-ups, do abs, and get your physical scheduled!
Monday, June 28th - South Mastick park 9:00-10:30am. same as last week except Groups 1 and 2 add a half mile, groups 3, 4, and 5 add a mile.
Wednesday, June 30th - hills at Cedar Point Parking lot (directions below)
Friday, July 2nd - same as Monday.
Cedar Point Parking lot - is a little gravel lot off Cedar Point Road in the Rocky River Metroparks. From South Mastick, keep driving down Valley Parkway (south) past the nature center to the stop light (Cedar Point Road). Turn right on Cedar Point, immediately go over the bridge/river. Parking lot will be on the right.

Week of Nov 30
Expected Coaches for this week
Monday, Nov 30 – Coach Polito
Tuesday, Dec 1 – Coach Kieser
Wed, Dec 2 – early dismissal
Thurs, Dec 3 – Coach Polito
Fri, Dec 4 – Coach Mone.
The weather is going to be tough this week, therefore you need to be equally tough and dress properly. Bring plenty of clothes!
Not sure on Coach Welch or Coach Pomfrey at this time. Hopefully everyone is back to running now – use good old fashioned peer pressure to get the lesser motivated out the door. Also, these runs are not for CC people only – track heads like Seroka and others wanting to run are all encouraged to get started!
