Saturday Practice

Meet at Little Red Schoolhouse at 8am. We'll do the big 10 mile loop.
There are always shortcuts if you don't want to run that far.

I just wanted to reiterate how amazing your performances were last weekend. I think nearly every person either set a PR or won an age group or overall award. That's a testament to your hard work and willingness to do the stuff that most other runners (and people for that matter) are afraid to do because it's hard and it makes them uncomfortable. Continue to work hard by yourself and when you're with the team and improvements will continue. Don't forget to savor these moments too because what we're doing as a team right now is really cool and not every one gets this opportunity.

I'll be sending out a list of some other opportunities to race as a team for the rest of 2012.

Wednesday Night Practice

First outdoor practice of the year!
Meet at LW East H.S. by the main field house entrance - we'll do a warm-up then a mess of fun hills.
