Good tough practice last night.
Join us next Wednesday after practice at the Blue Fox where we'll pass out the team t-shirts, bring your money. The Blue Fox which is only about a mile from the track is offering some food & drink specials to the team. Stop by if you can. We'll have more details at practice.
Saturday -Meet at 40 Acre Woods - 119th one block east of LaGrange we'll start at 8:30. We'll do a progressive paced run. After 4 miles steady pace the next few miles will each get a little faster.
Turnout hasn't been great on Saturdays and I understand that a lot of people have family commitments or are racing - but be sure if you don't run with the team that you do a tempo/fartlek/progressive run once per week in addition to a long steady run of 8-12 miles (of course more for marathoners). These two runs + Wednesday speedwork will put you in your best position to race well the rest of the season.
Good luck to everyone racing this weekend - post your results.

The Long Green Line opens this weekend at the AMC Cantera - in Warrenville. We strongly encourage you to bring your teams out during OPENING weekend at the Cantera. They will be showing the film 5 times a day through thursday. If the turnout is good - it will expand to MORE theaters.
Please Support a great Cross Country film - that will help to show the world - that "Cross Country is Like LIFE"
People are TALKING about The Long Green Line
"the film is a healthy reminder of how sports can mold young men and women into better people." Chicago Sun-Times
"Pure Gold...Equal parts Mr. Miyagi, Dr. Phil and General George Patton, Newton pumps and primes his athletes for their 25th state title" Daily Herald
“This is a film every high school coach should show their team.” Scott Bush - milesplit.us
“Everyone in America who loves distance running should see The Long Green Line. It is a fascinating document which vividly portrays the influence one person can have on so many. It displays the passion, integrity, compassion and leadership it took to develop the top high school cross country program in America. It shows the love that Coach Joe Newton has for all his runners from the state champions to number 200 in the pecking order. He reaches them all.” Joe Vigil - U.S.Olympic Distance Coach 2008
"The Long Green Line captures the essence of team cross-country in this heartwarming and at times tear-jerking story…coaching legend Joe Newton comes through as the genuine article preaching truth, honesty, loyalty and honor--the York trademarks.” Marc Bloom - The Harrier
