Yesterday's Practice and No Practice Next Thursday 9/17/09

We had a great practice Thursday. Our goal was to run three times around the outside of the playing field. This is a distance of more than one mile. Almost half the team completed all three laps with the rest of the team running two laps. We then did candy sprints to finish out our first week.

A few notes. Over the weekend I will be emailing the shirt order forms along with the details (sizes etc.) The Ledge Street PTA has graciously donated money so that the per runner cost of the shirts will be only $5. I plan to submit the order on Wednesday 9/16/09 so all orders must be in to me by Tuesday’s practice. For those runners without emails I will be handing out forms Monday, to be returned by Tuesday’s practice.

Please note---because we have a practice meet at Nashua North next Friday 9/18/09—we will not have practice next Thursday 9/17/09. This week we will practice Monday and Tuesday only. I will be sending out details re: Friday’s meet before the end of the weekend as well as handing out information to families without e-mail next Monday.

Parents—please be sure your child brings a water bottle…many runners had nothing to drink on Thursday. Thank you Monique Duda for providing some extra water for our runners.
Thank you to all of our parent volunteers—your presence is important to our team safety. Please note on Monday we will be running a measured course in Mine Falls----I will really need your help! Remember…you do not need to be a runner…..I mostly need your eyes and ears standing at various points on the course. Have a great weekend and I’ll have the shirt order form emailed out by Saturday once I firm up all the details today with Phoenix Screen Printing.

Last but not least thank you to Dee for the pictures posted above!
