Week One . . .

Just finished our first week.  Another great one.  No practice tomorrow as the field is being sprayed with pesticide.  No warning.  Grrr.  We will persevere.  

It was another great day . . .

Day 4 was an hour long run as the main body of our workout.  It was a wonderful day; all did very well.  I'm very pleased with our progress.  But, we are a long way from where we need to get.  Running a race is a lot like a life.  We are still toddlers.  

Soon, I will be uploading the schedule, etc.  Keep checking back.  

Day 3 Down. We Are Better Than You Might Think

We have completed 3 days of hard work and we are right where we need to be.  Other than we would love to have more runners, that is.  

Our top varsity boys are running between 10 and 14 miles a day.  You wouldn't think it possible, but they are doing it.  

We have a long way to go to come together, but we are getting there.  

Find the ball.  Get the ball.  

Be a leader.  Make a play.

You're crazy! (a runner's favorite compliment) 

Day 1 Complete

The start to the season was right on task. Please bring your paperwork back by Wednesday. Our parent meeting is Wed. at 7:30pm at the SES pavilion. We need all to attend. Tomorrow we start speed work. You should be tired and a bit sore. That is normal. Are you ready? Did you run your evening minutes?

And It Begins . . .

Find the Ball.  Get the Ball.  Be a leader.  Make a play.  

The fun begins Monday, August 12th, 8am sharp.  

Booster Meeting

We are having a booster meeting at 6pm on July 10th at the SES pavilion.  This meeting will discuss and make decisions regarding fundraising for the fall, including the PIAA Foundation Race.  Please have parents attend.

SUMMER IS HERE--OPEN GYM SCHEDULE and PHYSICAL DATES

Happy Summer to all.  Here is the summer schedule for Open Gyms:

At school:  Monday and Wednesday

                    8am to 9am

At Woodcock Dam:  Tuesday and Thursday (with Coach Fuzzy) 

                    6pm to 7pm

We run for approximately 45 minutes and do ab work for the remaining time.  Please have your rides drop off and pick you up promptly.  

If a coach can't make it, this site will update that, but our upperclassmen are certainly able and expected to organize and "run" the open gym.  

PHYSICAL DATES: (AT SCHOOL)

 June 12th & July 17th from 9:00am to 12:00pm

Also, all runners should be working to get "in-shape" ready for the fall.  All runners should be working to get 4-5 runs in per week.  1-2 should be around an hour.  Push your limits:  run on varied terrain, make one a hilly workout, make one a tempo run.  Just push yourself.  This is a physical and a mental exercise, of course.

I WISH TO SEE YOU ACCOMPLISH ALL YOU ARE CAPABLE OF--AND THAT IS A STATE CHAMPIONSHIP.   And that, my dear runners, begins with running frequently, with teammates if at all possible, and with the mind of a runner.  I look forward to my runs.  You should, as well.
