SUMMER PRACTICES

NOTE TO ALL:
I just finished my morning run. It was 87 degrees as I finished at 10:30 AM, therefore, I encourage you to drink plenty of water after dinner in the effort to be properly hydrated in the morning.

It would be prudent to purchase polarizing sunglasses (not only to protect your eyes, but also to keep you from squinting and burning unnecessary energy), and wear a hat with a brim. It's all part of training smarter!

Monday, June 30th
(today are the Oly Trials 800 finals & 5000 finals for the men)
(as always, when we are not driving up into the peaks for a run, meet at 9:30)
Just down from the entrance to the Sam's Club parking lot on Babbitt. We'll add on to this loop by continuing down Lone Pine to the Urban Trail accessed right before Sawmill (and if you miss this, you'll end up on Butler).
Pick-up 10:45
This was a great workout for the three team members who showed. The total run was 1 hour and 15 minutes in very hot weather. Again, I am proud of your effort!

Wednesday, July 1st
Meet at the intersection of Elden Springs & Elden Horse Camp, and those of you who need a ride, call me (my hard drive died yesterday and therefore I'm currently working on my wife's computer and may not be checking my email as often as I would like). 
Out and back on Deer Springs Trail.

Friday, July 4th
How many of you are heading out of town for the 4th of July weekend. Please let me know.
Meet at the Elden Lookout and Schultz Pass roads intersection (the "Y").
Out and back on the Ft. Valley Trail.

Isaac and Andi off on the "5" mile trail. Very hot. Good job to both of you, and especially you, Isaac... I'm proud of your consistency.

We (Andi and Isaac and I) moved this closer to "our neck of the woods" at Cambell Mesa and Tanner was left out in the cold... sorry Tanner. We'll not meet tomorrow as a team (in the effort to save gas... in the hopes that band camp will end early and more people will show?), but everyone needs to keep track of  what they are doing... such as running at least five days a week (six would be ideal). Okay, here's what we're doing for the rest of next week -- Monday, July 7th through 12th -- we're going to change things up since Andi leaves for Calif for the week...)

NO "ORGANIZED" PRACTICE ON MONDAY, JULY 7th

Tuesday, July 8th (should be Isaac and Megan... anyone know where sogge is?)
Buff. PK -- Oldham

(I'll get back to the site with the rest of the week's activities (I'll be on a trip on Friday and Saturday, so I apologize for no "organized" practices during those days).
An easy run on the "modified" Oldham Loop. Is, Meg, and me. Ty also showed for the first after his volunteer stint in India (Mother Theresa smiles!)

Wednesday, July 9th
Again, my apologies for not posting this practice. 
Is, Meg, Andi and me on the "modified" Soldiers Trail; running 3 minute pick-ups. Ty suffering from the curse of "mother theresa" so dnS

Thursday, July 10th
Well meet at school at 9:00.
Pick up Andi at Silver Saddle at 9:20 and head to the hills. My plan is to drive around to the Snowball parking lot, drop everyone there and have them run down Kachina to Schultz Pass. At least that's the plan.

Friday -- Tuesday, the 15th...
I'll be babysitting guests, so I won't be at practice... but you better be!!!
