We're Half Way There

Here is the detour information if you are going to Henderson's Sauerkraut days run.  The race is scheduled to start at 8am.  This detour is about 45min so please plan accordingly.

• Take Co Hwy 8 exit toward MN-93/Le Sueur
• Turn right onto Co Hwy 8/336th St
• Turn right onto Co Rd 17/391th St
• Turn right onto MN-19 E - leads to Henderson

We are half way to the season folks.  It is time to get serious if you have not started please do, if you know of a teammate that has not started yet invite them to go running together.  Last year we had a great number of people run miles over the summer and that can be attributed to the success that we saw in the year.
If you are wondering why the weight room is not loaded yet, that is because I will load that at the end.  There is NO need to try and load in the mileage counter.  The coaches in charge of the weight room take attendance and will let me know who is working and also who is not.

The season does not make you great, the off season does.

Miles I Need More Miles

Over the course of the summer the miles that have been documented will be updated.  Here is the first mileage update.

As you can see that many of you have not reported or not ran any miles yet this summer.  As move through summer it is key that we run our summer miles.  Summer is a time that we can make great strides as an individual and therefore also as a team.

We accomplished so much last year because of the miles that we ran as a team.  If we want to improve and get better we need to run those miles.

Remember that the weight room is currently going on.  I would highly suggest going and doing the distance running weights.  This workout plan will have you progress throughout the summer and will work your total body.
Over the winter we had the largest group in the weight room lets make sure that the other sports see how hard we work by going and doing the work.

Remember that this Saturday is the first MRC racing series race. The race starts at 9am.  It is a t-shirt exchange, meaning you bring a t-shirt from a race or another sport that you are in and put it in the bin.  Upon completion you will grab a t-shirt that you want.
