We've completed Week 1 but it was short...only two days. Everyone responded well and are probably sore from the extra activity. The energy and enthusiasm of this group is awesome! The coaching staff can't keep up!
Reminders:
Many kids are not bringing water bottles to practice. Proper hydration is critical for safety and performance. Please make sure you are bringing a water bottle to practice and to meets.
The following administrative papers were handed out at the end of the first day of practice and must be returned completed before next Thursday, otherwise you can't race. Most of you have completed this process...thank you. Please ask a coach for the papers if you do not have them:
Blue - Jackson Middle School Athletic Rules
Green - Anoka-Hennepin Community Education Eligibility Information
Yellow - Heath Emergency Care Record
Finally, you must have a sports physical on file with Community Ed before you can race on Thursday, September 11th. Most of you have completed this process...thank you.
Extra Credit:
If you haven't already, please refer to the Training Guide and Mileage Log on the blog site to 1) record your mileage or activity, and 2) do some suggested training over the weekend. It's important to keep your body in motion when it is sore, but don't over do it. Finish your workout refreshed and always drink plenty of water. Keep in mind this guide was designed to peak on October 9th and for a beginner to an advanced middle school runner. Finally, never workout alone...run with a buddy and be safe.
