*****
First and foremost, thank you all VERY much for driving all over the valley to accommodate a few different practice locations in week # 1. We're pretty sure that there have been at least a few tired legs -- but no complaints! -- and we know that we powered through at least a couple of hotter afternoons :)
Well done to ALL and keep up the great work!
The kids have been great and we really appreciate their early enthusiasm and general willingness to dive right in. From the "all-summer" runners to those just starting out, keep talking to us and let us know how you are feeling on any given day.
As much as possible, from here going forward, the best way for us to help is if you come to practice. If that can't happen send an email, send a text, give a call, stop by Erik's classroom etc.. We are easily reachable and will pass along a paper copy of contact info etc. at our parent meeting this coming week.
Speaking of which -- THE SCHEDULE FOR WEEK #2:
For the most part - on regular school days - practice starts at 3:30. JRH will be done @ 4:45-5 and HS will be done @ 5-5:15. This is a somewhat normal week.
Tue 9/3 -- 3:30pm at school.
Wed 9/4 -- 3:30pm at school. 800 or 1600m Time Trial. Please attend! This workout gives us a benchmark to start the season.
Thu 9/5 -- 3:30pm at school. HS & JRH PARENT MEETING 5-5:45pm right after practice. Please attend even if you've run before. New info to share. Field trip forms for HS overnight etc. We'll try to make it quicker than 45min.
Fri 9/6 -- Professional Day * No School * 8am practice at Chickadee Trailhead - Sun Mountain.
Sat 9/7 -- JRH: day OFF. HS: HWY cleanup and run at Cutthroat Trailhead** All HS welcome but stay tuned for more info at Thurday's parent meeting about potential carpooling from the HS etc..
