Hunter Schmidt has graciously volunteered to host this years summer running kick off at his house, 1010 park lane, on Saturday 5/12/18 night. Summer running mileage begins to count on May 13th this year since the first day of practice is August 13. Our goal as a team is to collectively run 9000 miles over the summer. Last season we came very close to that number running over 7000 miles as a team. We encourage 6th graders going to be 7th graders and 7th graders going to be 8th graders to cover 150 miles over the summer (see mileage club tab at the top of this blogspot). Likewise we encourage those entering the 9th grade to cover 200 miles and the high schoolers to log 300 miles. Summer miles include all running miles, biking miles at a ratio of 3 biking =1 mile running and school weight room sessions = 1 or 2 miles.
Hunter says bring your swimsuit as his pool may be open a towel and chair may also come in handy. A snack might be in order since you will be enjoying some time around the fire pit until the running time. Maybe a flashlight might come in handy. Meet at Hunter's around 10 pm. Have a safe and fun time. It is exciting to see so much enthusiasm this long before the season even starts, but it takes a little more to be a champion.
