Friday Practice/6/13

We will still hold practice at regular time this morning. It is just rain, and although a little heavier at times, no lightening or heavy storms. It will clear out a bit a little later, so if anyone doesn’t go this morning, please go later. We looked at it on the sense that if it was a race day, we would have to run in it. Thanks and enjoy the weekend as well!!
Thanks

Summer Practices: Week of June 9

Below is the locations for our practices for the Week of June 10.  We will be starting each practice at 8:00am.  If you are someone in need of a ride, please let me or one of the captains know so we can help line up a ride for you.  Also, if you are unable to make any of the practices, and you do not have a summer workout sheet, please click on this link  or click on the link on the right side of the blog to get one.  Expect total time for these practices to be between 1 hour and an hour and 15 minutes.

These practices are a great way to get ready for the season and to be in a better position to reach goals, but we are also wanting these to be a way for those interested in joining the opportunity to see what our sport and team are all about.  

Monday - Bunker Golf Course Parking Lot 1
Tuesday - CRHS, West end of the Tennis Court Parking Lot
Wednesday - CRHS, West end of the Tennis Court Parking Lot
Thursday - Bunker Golf Course Parking Lot 1
Friday - CRHS, West end of the Tennis Court Parking Lot

Lastly, for those that signed up for the Lutsen Running Camp, the total cost is going to be $240.  This cost is higher than what will probably be needed, but we are overestimating at this time to make sure we have enough in case gas and/or food prices are higher.  Any money that is left over will be given back after camp.  You can also start making payments or pay for the whole thing.  Please look for me on PayPal or Venmo.

If there are any questions, please let me know,
Thanks,
Denny

We will meet at 3:15 by the bushes on the west end of the high school tennis courts so any middle schoolers intending to join will be able to. If you know anyone that is interested, have be there. It will be an easier workout since it’s the first workout but also due to the heat.  I will have copies of all of the summer workouts for those there, but if you cannot make it, here is a link to them: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1aqX0e5tXpce8Ij495PP9iR7Y1MrDNPhcBBhgPGZBCXI/edit?usp=drivesdk
