Ladies,
Things are beginning to settle in a bit.We have a very nice core of high schoolers who are committed to getting ready for the fall. And our middle schoolers? I am stunned at the turnout. In the immediate future this will pay off for this coming season, but more than that, I think it will really help the entire program in the coming years. I couldn't be happier.
We have upped the mileage a bit, and we're going to start playing with speed a bit here and there. Nothing really long or terribly hard, but we do have to get going on getting some contact with that speed. I'm thinking this week we'll start some Indian runs or fartleks, or both. You might be wondering what those things are - I'll wait until we are together to explain. Just know it will test your speed a bit in either case.
More than anything, keep coming. Your consistent hard work will pay off in the regular season. This sport really needs you to be diligent about getting miles - nothing can take the place of miles. We need regular intervals of stress to get the body ready to do what it must later on.
Shifting gears, our first summer fund raiser is about to kick off. The Olda Gurls (tm) have organized a bake sale at Walmart this Saturday. I will be out of town, so this show will be run entirely by you. That's really the fact of the matter anyway... these fundraisers are always run by the team. They are not mandatory, but I have found they help bring the team together.
Diana and Carrie seem to be taking the lead on this project, so if you have any questions, refer to them. I don't know what hours Diana set up, so someone remind me to ask tomorrow at practice!
