Practice Cancelled Monday

I hope everyone made it home safely.  By now you are all aware that there is no practice today, Monday 1/26.  Currently, tomorrow looks like a loss, too.  And hopefully we'll be back at it on Wednesday.  What to do?

A couple of suggestions for how to spend the next couple of days...
1 - Get fully healthy if you've been achy/sore...rest, stretch, ice, etc.
2 - Do an indoor core/ab workout:  include push-ups, various planks and crunches, dips, stairs, hops, etc...be creative!
3 - Run on a treadmill (30 minutes).
4 - Walk to your gym and get a workout...if you have one, and if it's open, and if it's safe to travel.

It would not be a total loss if you had to miss 2 days, but as the season winds down, you certainly want to take advantage of the limited time that you have.  There will not be many more days to build your fitness, in order to lower your times...and several of you have seen your times even out.  Stay motivated!  Hope to see you soon!

BTW...most of you will get to compete at Sectionals on Friday 2/6, and ALL of you will get to compete at the Last Chance Meet on Wednesday 2/11. 

Mid-Terms Week

Ladies!!

Good luck on your Mid-Terms this week!  Study hard, I know you'll do great!

With that all said, it looks like this week will be a scheduling mess with all of the snow that is forecasted.  I know you will all handle it as well as you have handled every other adversity that you have faced this season.  As far as our team goes, I will keep in contact with you one way or the other and I will continue to update this site with any schedule changes.

Good luck!!!

Healthy Eating Tips

Here is a great article that I just saw shared.  It might take a couple of looks to really take in everything...or maybe just look it over for the big concepts:  portion control, salads, nuts, smoothies, baking, etc.  And then refer back to it as situations arise.  A definite "bookmark" for sure.

HEALTHY EATING MADE SUPER EASY

A Cautionary Tale

Here is an article that someone forwarded to me about the dangers of using social media sites irresponsibly.  Remember, you never know who is looking at your posts, tweets, and pics...and you can never take these things back.  They live on the internet FOREVER.  Recruiters, employers, colleges, and anyone else you hope to impress in life will be looking and making judgments.  Definitely worth a few minutes to read...

Performance List

Amazing job today, ladies!!!  I am so pumped about today's meet and even moreso thinking ahead to what else we can do!  Today we had quite a few girls hit some personal bests and of course those school records!  But we also had quite of few girls earn their Varsity Letters.  That's a link with the full details for earning a letter, but in short, today some of you earned a letter for earning a medal in a Varsity race, for setting a school record, or for achieving one of the standard marks for your event.  Also, the top 3 in each event at the end of the season earn a letter, so I put a record of our top 3 in each event on the right hand side, toward the bottom of the site.

HERE is the link for the Winter Performance List.  In future, you can always find this link under the "Running Links" tab on the right had side of the site.

Congrats again on a great day!  Though I am glad to have gotten home much earlier, I must say, you are a great group to spend a day with!  Thanks for the positive vibes and good times!
