We had a great meet on Saturday. The
meet got off to a slow start, I don't
expect that to happen this weekend. The
kids did great and I saw a lot of kids
having a good time. I always like the
first meet because it gives a good idea
of what to expect the rest of the
season. It also gives us an idea of
where we are and what areas we need to
work on. I look forward to seeing the
kids excel in their performance and
accomplishments.

PRACTICE ESSENTIALS:
Weather has been inconsistent and
unpredictable;cold, wet and windy,
then suddenly HOT. Arrive wearing a
few layers, but be able to end
dressed for weather 20 degrees
warmer than it actually feels
outside. After a minute or two of
running, your body will warm up. It
is just as uncomfortable to get
overheated, as it is to be too cold.
Layers work best and can be adjusted
during practice; a base layer of
snug, wicking material, a mid-layer
of looser material and a light outer
layer to block wind when necessary
and allow moisture to escape.
DRINK
plenty of water all day, every
day before, during, and after
your run. Dehydration is
responsible for: dry/ itchy
skin, headaches, thirst,
fatigue, crankiness, becoming
stressed easily, unclear
thinking, flushed face,
cramping, weakness, sleepiness,
dry mouth, bloating &
constipation. Do not
underestimate the need for
water! Diets high in fast
food deprive the body of WATER.
Balanced diets that include
several servings daily of fruit
and vegetables help hydrate our
bodies and reduce the need to
constantly drink water.
Think about how you treat
your "running machine" ~your
body!

Should I Run Even Though I'm Sick?
Runny nose?
Congestion? Coughing? Sneezing? The
Runners Rule; if the illness is above
your throat, you can run, but if it's in
your chest, you should not run. Fever,
chills, body aches, or upset stomach, do
not exercise. Let common sense be your
guide! Don't Share!
|
board meeting:
Your SCTC- Storm board members will be
meeting on Tuesday, April 3rd at Marie
Calendars at 7:00 PM. Prompt arrival is
required for completion of business
since we have several issues on the
agenda needing timely resolution. These
meetings are open to general membership.
Our track clubs success is a result of
active, dedicated individuals who
comprise our organization and are
willing to take
responsibility. If
that describes you please join us!

missing some clothing that they brought to
practice and didn't bring home, check on the

Remember that the track is off
limits to non-athletes during
practice. If parents would like to
