Summer Workouts

A reminder. We will meet for our first summer session Saturday at 8:00 at Piedmont Park. The Summerfest 5k will start at the same time in Virginia-Highlands so some streets will be blocked. If you have registered for the race, run that and let us know how you did.

We will start practicing at Candler Park on Monday, June 3 at 6:00 pm. Bring a water bottle and cool thoughts. Adapting to the heat is our goal for the first couple of weeks. Meeting our new team members is equally important.  Be cool in practice, and warm to our new folks.

See you this week if you are in town.

Grady XC Summer Training

Our summer voluntary workouts begin June 1.  This is a Saturday.  My plan is to meet most Saturdays at 8:00am in Piedmont Park (Charles Allen entrance) for longer runs.  We will split into groups.  Monday, Wednesday and Thursday we will meet at Candler Park (in front of the swimming pool) at 6:00pm.  We will work together for most of these early practices.  Bring your own water bottle to all workouts.

I will hand out physical forms as I see you.  Please get these filled out SOON.  The Wellness Center on Ponce de Leon (across from RiteAid) is offering free physicals for sports at Grady.

The temperature is beginning to climb.  You must get acclimated to the heat.  The only way to do this is to get outside and run.  Come to practices.  We will take water breaks as needed and I will have my bicycle to hold your water.

We hope to see you when you are in town.
