Hi XC Team,
I want to remind
all the parents
that you are
welcome to come
out and run with
us if you're
able. Please
help remind the
athletes to
drink plenty of
water during the
day so they are
well hydrated
and ready to run
as the 6:00 PM
practices can be
pretty warm
during our
August
practices.
Remember the
athletes may
have sore
muscles, but
stick with it
and after the
first few weeks
the pain will go
away and it will
get much
easier. On the
days we don't
have practice
athletes can
stretch, go for
a bike ride or
take a swim.
These other
activities will
help your body
adjust if your
new to running
distance.

will be

ourselves...
