You do not have school Monday or Tuesday next week (Oct 8 & 9) This presents a problem for us with maintaining continuity in practices. Monday is a furlough day for teachers and we have been told we may not
hold practice in any sport. Tuesday is a professional development day. We are scheduled to be at the World Congress Center from 8-5. While I doubt that they will keep us until 5:00 I may have trouble
getting off in time to make a 4:00 practice. Here is a tentative plan:
Thursday (tomorrow): Practice will be very important. Please be there!!! We will to a longer neighborhood run as recovery and for strength. Friday: Speed workout on the Active Oval. Please make this one also.
It is the only chance we will have to run fast until the Wednesday meet. Saturday: Overdistance day at Piedmont Park, a long run in the neighborhood with bike/water support. 9:00-10:30 (one hour later than
in past weeks) Sunday: relax, stretch, core work, easy run if you can manage (3-4 miles) Monday: on your own. Find a partner if possible, but do make an effort to get out and run. 4-5 miles followed by 10 fast strides or 10 sprints up a short hill. Tuesday: on your own. 5-6 miles run at an easy pace, follow with strides and plenty of stretching. Wednesday: Meet at Grant Park. Run hard for two laps, relax the third. (Last meet before city championship.)
We will be able to run 10 team members at the city championship. Ms. Aldridge and I will select 12 runners for the state meet before October 15th. Your attendance and hard work will help us pick the best group to represent the school at Region and State.
You all ran well today. I will forward the results as soon as they are sent to me.
