Hope everyone is enjoy the
summer! I can't believe that
there are only 3 week until the
first practice. Please get your
sign up paperwork turned in as
soon as possible. Sign-up
information is below in the next
box.
We are also starting a fitness
program, if you think you might
be interested in join, make sure
to show up to practice with a
good pair of running shoes and
dressed for a work out. The plan
will be to start conditioning
the same as the kids, the
initial program will be 6 weeks
long.
Remember that you must bring
water for both you and your
children to practice. When the
weather is hot like it can be
dehydration can be a serious
problem.

Storm Fitness Club |
We're adding a fitness program!
Yes, some of you walk around the
track during track season,
others run the course during
cross country while the kids are
working out. This year we will
have an organized program with a
set schedule for
adults. Enrollment will be
required to participate.
The program will last 6
weeks long and will be
conducted at the same
locations as our
practices. This is not in
place of our coaching staff,
this is designed for our
parents who want a running
work out. If you normally
run with the kids during XC
you will still be able to do
that without being a part of
the fitness program.
This program will be for
beginning runners. However
intermediate runners will be
able to improve their
performance due to the
scheduled work outs.
Not all of you know, but I
have ran 9 marathon's in the
past, when I stopped running
a very strange thing
happened, I quit burning all
those calories and found
that I could store
them...well it's now time to
take those stored calories
and put them to use...I have
decided to BURN them!
If you'd like to join me on
August 4th, I've set a goal
to burn some calories. and
would like who ever else is
interested in setting a goal
to join me.

Correction in the Parent Handbook |
We've Found an error
Our first day of practice will be on
August 4th at Heritage Park and not
on August 13th at Central Park.
If you have a red line on page 3
stating that practice is August
13, it was red so I would
remember to edit it...which I
forgot to do...so its been fixed
please download a new parent
handbook.
Thanks

I've been asked why do you
work so hard for the Storm
program. in a nutshell, because
your child is a part of it
and mine will be.
I would love to take all the
credit, but I've have a lot
of great people helping me with
the program in the background.
We have some parents
who also give of themselves to
help this program. The hours
they spend in attending coaches
clinics, and volunteering for
this club is so amazing! Thank
you!
Next year a new phase of my life
will start, as my granddaughter
will start competing for Storm
as a first year Gremlin. There
is no other club in the
conference that I would rather
have her go to. I know that she
will receive the best training
and support for the entire time
she is part of the program. She
will lead the way within my
family as my grand children
start running one by one behind
her.
It is people giving of
themselves freely for each
other that make this club what
it is.
I will continue to give of
myself for many years to come
because this is a club for your
children and mine.
I'm In It For The Long Run,
Alan Bingham
Santa Clarita Track Club
