Team,
Another race in the
books and what a
great day we saw out
there at Mt. Sac!
Perfect running
conditions, stellar
competition and some
great efforts made
this an amazing day
of running. We had
every age group
represented,
including youth
girls [great job
Sierra], and it is
so enjoyable to
watch each of you
give it your all in
competition.
What's next for us?
This week will start
light tonight with a
shorter recovery run
for all. We have
two special guests
who will be with us
sharing on the topic
of injury
prevention. As you
athletes continue to
grow there are some
pains that are ok,
while others lead to
bigger issues.
Tonight, you'll
learn how to assess
that and also
different ways to
stay ahead of the
curve and stay
healthy. Dr. Justin
Franson and PT.
Suzanne Hawson will
be with us for
that. They'll also
be out there to run
with us so I'm sure
you will enjoy that
time. Please be
prepared to ask
questions as the
goal is to make this
interactive with you
guys.
For the rest of the
week, we're going to
have 2 pretty tough
practices on Tuesday
and Thursday as we
only have 2 weeks
left. The course
this week is said to
be all grass and
dirt and no big
hills. So it should
be a good break from
Mt. Sac, but only
for one week. We'll
be finishing off at
Central Park on the
new terrain the
following week!!!
On a more
sentimental note: I
want to tell you all
how proud I am of
your hard work, your
desire to improve,
and overall great
attitudes. It's
nice to work with
such great athletes
and families! Thank
you!!
One final thought is
post season.
Actually 2 thoughts
about this: first,
if you desire to go
to the national race
in Orlando, Fl
please let Coach
David, Alan or
Elaine or
myself know. There
is a qualifying race
you must attend and
you'll want to know
more information
about the
specifics. Second,
if you desire to
keep training during
the winter in
preparation for
track, I will be
providing coaching.
Initially I am going
to open it up to
Midget's and Youth
as this will be
focused on strength
training and I won't
have the capacity to
manage the younger
athletes at this
time. There will be
a nominal fee for
Storm athletes and a
little less nominal
for non-storm
athletes. If you
are interested,
please email me and
I will begin to put
a list together and
provide you with
more information.
Thank you again for
what has been a
really incredible
season! I am
looking forward to
the final 2 races,
so keep the vitamins
in you, keep the
rest up and stay
healthy.
Enjoy your day and
week!
Coach Jeremy
