Weekly Update 10/18 ·
Congratulations to the Shoregals on their SWC Championship! That may be the most exciting race I’ve ever seen. While we talked about our assignments, what to do and when to do it, and who to run with, it really comes down to execution. You girls believed in yourself, you believed in the work you did this season, and, maybe most of all, you believed in each other. We are proud of what you’ve done, and you should be proud of yourselves!· Congratulations to the Shoremen on being SWC Runners-Up! I know you guys were disappointed in coming in 2nd place, but you shouldn’t be. There’s nothing you could have done—you did your absolute best. That’s all anyone can ever ask of a person, or a team. Putting this finish in perspective, the Shoremen runners have come in 1st or 2ndplace at SWCs in 8 of the past 9 years. That’s awesome! The varsity boys’ team just won their 5th consecutive SWC Championship, and you guys are continuing the tradition of fielding tough Avon Lake cross country teams. It all starts at Learwood!· Please turn in uniforms to Room 404! I am going to be washing all uniforms and doing inventory starting next week. If you haven’t turned in your uniform yet, please place it in a bag and label it with your name.· Starting next week, you need to take a break! One of the problems distance coaches have with good teams—and we have two really good teams—is getting those teams to rest. Rest is important! Take 3 weeks off of running, starting next week. No running! This is ‘Couch Potato’ time, where you have permission to be a lazy kid for three weeks. Eat what you want, play other sports, sit on the couch and watch television/play video games. Time to rest!· Learwood Running Club starts the week of November 11th. If you are not involved in a winter sport, or if the winter sport you are involved in does not conflict with Running Club, then you need to start running the week of November 11th. We will meet 3 days a week, after school, from 3 – 4 p.m. We will definitely be done by 4 p.m. We will also meet on some Saturdays and we’ll start advertising road races as well. Running Club starts in November and goes until February, when Track & Field conditioning begins. It is important for runners to run in the off-season! Nothing crazy, but you want to get out there after your rest period. We’ll be running outside so dress for the weather!· I’m updating the Cross Country bulletin board with our new individual and team records. Parents, if you have any pictures you can bring, I’ll laminate them and put them up. I don’t have any pictures myself so anything you can give me would be great. The pictures we currently have are from 2 years ago!· Thanks for a great season! This season has worn me out more than any other, but it’s also been one of the most fun! Thanks for being such great kids, and thanks go out to all the parents for all your help, donations, and patience this season! We’ll be updating the blog every couple weeks with our Running Club dates/times, races, and workouts!
OHSAA Middle School Invitational
· Bus leaves TROY at 6:45 a.m. Be there at 6:40 a.m., and be ready to sleep on the way down. We’re only taking one bus!· We should return between 5 – 6 p.m. We plan on stopping for food on the way back home, but we should definitely be home before 6 p.m.
· Dress for the weather! Right now it looks like it will be 50 degrees, with a 40% chance of rain. These will be the coldest temps of the season! Dress in layers. Bring at 2-3 pairs of socks, a pair of dry shoes you can keep on the bus to change into on the way home, and rain gear if you have it (I’ve got home-made ponchos from clear plastic bags should you need it). Hats and gloves are good too!
· Bring extra food/water. I’ve got extra water but you’ll want to snack when we get there so bring some food and a sports drink!· Bring money! You might want to buy apparel when you get there, and we’ll be eating on the way back.
