Running with Rocco: Weeks of January 17th and 24th

Athletes & Parents:

The schedule for the next two weeks is below. There are a lot of cold-weather days in the forecast, so we won't be able to meet like we normally do. Get in your cardio, however! We may be able to get some middle schoolers into our next varsity indoor meet, and soon we'll be meeting in the metro-parks on Saturdays for hill work.

A few things to note regarding the weather:

  • If the temperature is around 30 degrees and the wind chill isn't bad, we'll run outside
  • If the wind chill makes it feel as though it is 20 degrees or below, then we most likely will not meet
  • Snow and ice are also a factor--if there's excessive snow/ice we most likely will not meet
  • I'll send out REMIND notices and I'll have the office make an announcement if a session is canceled
  • Make sure to dress in layers, bring a hat & gloves, and watch your footing when we run
A few things to note regarding COVID protocols:
  • Masks must be worn inside Learwood after school, and this includes meeting before we go out on our run
  • You can take your masks off when we're outside running
  • When we return you have to mask up when we reconvene in my classroom
