Proud of these hooligans! It was a HOT morning and they all crushed out 10 hills or around 5.5 miles of this dinosaur hill. First place finisher was Jackson Avery! Yes Carson, Jackson beat you again... :) ps The Ward Bros were also in attendance but were saved by their Mother and missed the pic and pace bars. Also props to Verl as he is in DC right now but has been getting up early and running stairs and running like a mad man.. Tough to find that determination on vacation.
For those of you who didn't come you missed out on a great training and some serious delicious pace bars and chocolate milk for recovery... Those that came I salute you and promise you this hard work will pay off as we get close to starting the season. I would HIGHLY encourage the rest of you to do your best to make it to these practices, we have less than 4 weeks till our first Invitational!! And you know that time will fly by fast!! So here is my challenge.... I would like EVERY xc runner to run at least 35 Miles a week till that first race! Those that have been running closer to 45 miles if you can. So somewhere around 100 miles between now and August 11th.. Obviously the 12th will be a light easy run as it is the day before our first race on the 13th.
I can't tell you how many of you told me at the end of xc last year or at the end of track that you were going to run a lot this summer and be prepared and start where you ended last season... DON'T FORGET THAT FEELING!! Have no regrets as we get closer to this new year.
Thanks to Ericka and Carson for sending me running mileage logs. Looks as though they might be the only ones to get the varsity point for summer. Get crackin!!!
Here is a copy of our schedule... It is NOT final and is tentative as we work out buses and everything else but many of you have asked. We should have it finalized within a week.
