Braves,
Our first week of practices was a huge success. We had over
60 kids come out, with nearly 40 each day. Even better than the numbers was the
outstanding effort put forth by the team. If we continue on this path we will
have an excellent season. Though off to a good start, we have a long way to go
to reach our goals of region titles.
This week will be slightly different with practices only
Monday and Wednesday. We will also be having a team trail run on Friday at
mueller park canyon (elephant rock) with chocolate milk afterwards. There may
be some rain this week, but don't let that deter you from practice or running
on your own.
Even though we will only meet three times, you should still
get out and run six days. We need to continue to increase our weekly milage, so
don't hesitate to go on long runs. Reasonably, for our experienced runners you
should be shooting for 40+ miles this week. For some of our new runners 20-30
is more reasonable. Make sure you take care of any aches and pains, typically
with ice, and communicate any concerns with the coaches and we can give you
some advice.
We definitely recommend running in groups even on days
without organized practices. Feel free to use the strava app to communicate any
plans, like trails, or any other ideas. Speaking of strava, please download the
app, or make an account on a computer at strava.com and join the club
"Braves XC" then be sure to log your miles so you can be accountable
for what you have done.
Lastly, the fees for summer conditioning are due tomorrow
($25 in the main office). Please indicate the shirt size you want as well, as I
am making that order tomorrow. About 20 of you paid but didn't tell me what
size shirt you want. Please respond to this email with your desired size. In
the event you can't get the fee paid by tomorrow, let me know and I can enter
it as a fine, which would still be $25. It will be unlikely that you get a
shirt unless you pay by tomorrow. The clothing order is also due tomorrow, so
if you choose to order any additional items please pay in the office and leave
the order form in my box there in the office.
Let's keep getting better and make this an awesome week.
Coach Jacobson
