On Monday and Tuesday we ran long on both days so if you feel a little sore today, that's ok because most of you are exercising muscles for a much longer time than you have ever done before. This is how you become stronger and fitter! If you want to run on your own Thursday, please go easy and not more than 15-20 minutes, tops. Be sure to have a friend or brother or sister go with you to be safe.
I would like everyone at Nashua North no later than 3:30 PM Friday so we can give you your numbers. We will meet at the same spot we met at the last meet, right near the bleachers near the finish line. Be sure to wear your new Ledge Street shirt!! Mrs. Duda has made the suggestion of wearing your shirt to school Friday which is a great idea! You will be receiving new #'s this week so you don't need to bring your number from the 9/18 race. Please be sure to bring a water bottle and a snack for after the race. I also suggest you try to avoid eating for 2-3 hours before the race if possible. I may be asking for 2-3 parent volunteers to serve as course observers.
Friday afternoon's weather is expected to be cooler than the last meet (high 50's low 60's) so be sure to bring a warm jacket for after the race. Some of you may want to put your shirt over a longer sleeved shirt during the race but I will leave that up to each family. You will warm up very quickly once the race starts so you do not want to overdress, but bring something warm just in case.
Last but not least, if you need a ride to Nashua North the PAL van will be leaving the school at 3:15 PM sharp. Please be at the front of the school to meet Mrs. Duda by 3:00 PM. Also, if you do not plan to go back on the PAL van YOU MUST CHECK IN WITH ME before you leave. Mrs. Duda has to leave right after the 3k race so I will be supervising runners going back to Ledge Street on the PAL van. Mrs. Duda's email is moniqueduda@msn.com

I will not have my camera with me Friday so any parent who takes pictures please feel free to email them to me after the race and I will try to get them up on our team blog. See you Friday!! Coach Mike
