Cross Country Parents & Athletes:

Here is the schedule for the next 2 weeks! Running days may change due to the weather. If his happens, athletes will be notified on the announcements. Athletes are expected to continue running on their own! We are moving toward 'treadmill season' so make sure to get your miles in regardless of the weather conditions.

Wednesday        1.4     3 - 4 p.m.            32 minutes
Thursday             1.5     3 - 4 p.m.            40 minutes
Friday                   1.6     3 - 4 p.m.            38 minutes

Monday               1.10    3 - 4 p.m.          38 minutes
Tuesday               1.11    3 - 4 p.m.          42 minutes
Saturday              1.12    3 - 4 p.m.          40 minutes

In addition to the schedule, there are a few things to note:

1)  If you are planning on running Track & Field, you DEFINITELY need to start running NOW. You CANNOT just show up in March and start conditioning for April/May meets. So if you have not been running at this point, it's time to start! It's not too late to start running now but if you wait until March it will be too late!
2)  Because of this, I will be requesting runners meet with me weekly so we can review what they've done that week. You can stop by my room during Academic Support on Tuesdays, or meet me after school.
3)  Since the weather is going to get colder, we usually only hold running sessions if the temperatures are around 30 degrees or above. Again, if the weather is an issue we'll notify athletes on the announcements!
4)  We will not hold Saturday running sessions during Ski Club weeks, so our schedule will change slightly.
5)  Please check the blog site for distances! We will be holding running club sessions for another 6-7 weeks, until the start of Track & Field conditioning.

Have a Happy New Year!
