Remember 10-12th graders will run a 2.5 mile (10 laps) time trial on the first day and you must hit your assigned time to make the team
If you are not able to run the speed yet - do not worry - it is not to late. Just make sure you are running your 1000's on Saturday's at the GOAL PACE or faster. If you have been running all summer, these intervals will do the trick.
As you know, I am away at camp with 10 of your teammates and we will be returning on Saturday, any questions, just e-mail me
Sometimes it's just are freakin JOB!!
When you have to tell yourself that you MUST get out the door and run...and then you actually do it... That is when you know you are truly dedicated!!!
You do not miss going to work unless you are sick...treat your running the same way...IT IS OUR JOB
Sunday July 17th Group Run - Are You In The Picture??

Now that summer is in full swing:
1. Please e-mail me which camp you are going to; SJB XC (7/18-22), American Running Camp in Rhode Island (8/1-6), or another
2. Are you doing your Threshold Intervals on Saturday's?
3. Are you running at least 6 days a week?
4. Have you thought about WHY you are running XC and Sacrificing all of the time it takes to do it right?
