Happy Thanksgiving - Thanks for the Memories!

Any time I hear the song "No Rain" by Blind Melon, it just takes the first riff to send me right back in time to my junior year, cross country season...every time.

Now every time I hear "Riptide" my memory takes me right to cross country practice this year!  Thanks for the memories!  Happy Thanksgiving!

End of Season Information

Hello Ladies,

I miss you already!  Here is some information for Wednesday's meeting, which I hope will be no longer than 10-15 minutes.  We will meet after school like normal - out at the snack stand.  The sooner everyone is there, the sooner we can get started.  Feel free to come ready to run - beach and back is on the schedule.

1.  END OF SEASON SURVEY.  Please find time to invest thoughtful, honest responses.  This is similar to our Inventory from the beginning of the season.

2.  END OF SEASON PARTY!!!  I would like to have an End of Season Party next week, either on Tuesday 11/18 or Friday 11/21, right after school (3:00ish).  We can discuss details, but the idea is get together at someone's house to put a wrap on the whole season all together:  eat some food, retell the best stories, highlight the best moments and awards, get out final newsletters, wish best luck to our Senior, and look ahead to next year.

3.  UNIFORM COLLECTION.  You can bring your uniform on Wednesday, or to the party.  Either way, please WASH IT, put it into a bag, and put a note inside with your name on it.

4.  STATE GROUP MEET.  Katie races Saturday, at 3:30.  The boys' race is at 2:30.  The bus departs school at 12:00 noon.  I hope many of you can attend!!!  

Practice Cancelled

Practice for Saturday, November 1, is cancelled.

I hate to cancel a practice at this time in the season, but the rain along with the very cold temperatures seems like a recipe for disaster.  If we had a critical workout scheduled for today we would likely be finding a way to practice anyway, but today was scheduled for a long run, which I am asking you to try to do on your own, when the weather allows.  Check the details below for what to run...

PICK ONE OPTION:
IF you are able to run TODAY if/when the rain stops, run for 60 minutes, steady long run pace.
IF you are run TOMORROW then just run 40-45 minutes at a regular pace where you start easier and pick up as you go.

KEEP IN MIND, we will be pushing hard either Monday or Tuesday, so that is why I don't want you to do too much on Sunday.
