We had a great week of practice! On Monday we earned bonus points (cashed in today for candy treats) on the paved loop path around the baseball field. Every single runner on our team improved on their overall distance from the previous week with all of our runners going more than a mile and some more than two! More than half our runners more than doubled their long run distance! On Tuesday we headed over to Mine Falls and ran on the trail across the canal. Today we focused on speed work with a relay race and then candy sprints to end our week! I ended up miscalculating on our candy this week so each runner ended up with more than I planned, but it was all well deserved and I didn't have any complaints.
I am scheduled to pick up our T-shirts from the screen printer tomorrow which Mrs. Duda will hand out to the team Monday.
Next week we will practice Monday and Tuesday but will have no practice Thursday because we have another practice meet on Friday October 2 at Nashua North. The races will be at the same time as last week's meet. I will need everyone at Nashua North by 3:30 PM with the 2k race at 4:00 P.M. and the 3k race at 4:45 P.M.
Please try to run at least once over the weekend approximately 30 minutes at an easy comfortable pace. You should always have a parent, friend or brother or sister with you, perhaps on a bike when you run. By training a little extra you build leg strength that I guarantee will improve your performance at the City Championship Meet on October 17, 2009 All top 25 finishers in the 3k race at the City's race win a special award shirt.
Last but not least THANK YOU to the many parents who have come out and helped at practice. I could not successfully run our program without your help. If you have not yet been able to help but want to, please come to practice as I always need help.
