Upcoming Runs and Races and What Not.

Each Summer, we have taken kids to Atwater for their annual July 4th "Run for Independance" Here is the Link to the Website for the race.  If you are interested in going, let me know.

Also, we will be heading out to the hills at Warnerville Road on Tuesday, 6/24 at 7:00 AM

Here is a link to the Map of the Run

The best way to get there for most people that might be interested would be as follows

1. Travel North on Geer Road from Hughson.  
2. Turn right on Claribel Road
3. Follow Claribel for 6-7 miles until it intersects with Tim Bell road.
4. Park at the corner of Claribel and Tim Bell.

Remember, if you want to do this run, you need to be there by 7:00 AM

Map of the run for 6/17

Start at Cressey Fire Dept.

To get there from Hughson, head south on Santa Fe until you cross the Merced River.  Take your first left after the river.

Summer Training Well Underway

We are at the end our second week of summer training.  Our first week went exceedingly well, with one major exception.

1. What Went Well:  Most of our projected varsity boys team is out running, running together, and running consistently.  Guys like Austin, Jared, Daniel, Wyatt, and Michael all put in over 40 miles in the first week of the summer.  If those numbers keep increasing from those guys, then our VB squad will once again be a contender at the league and section levels.
2. What Didn't Go So Well: We only had 11 kids submit mileage in the first week.  I don't know if more kids are running and not submitting, but the proof I have of our WHOLE TEAM striving to be good is non-existent.  I got no submissions from any girls.  Girls, summer mileage will work for you, just like it works for the boys.

Summer Practice

Summer practice starts Monday at 6:00 PM.  We will work out M,T,Th at 6 PM for the remainder of the summer.  We will also have a hill run on Tuesdays at 7 AM.  For those runners wishing to make a double day, you can attend both sessions.

Our first summer hill run session will be on Meadow Road, out of Cressey.  Meet at the Cressey fire station at 7 AM for the run.  Here is a Map of the Route. I will bring snacks for afterward.  For the hill runs, you are responsible for getting yourself there.

Summer Training

OK, guys.  It is wednesday, June 4th.  Your summer running should be underway for the past 3 days now.  If you have not started running yet, start now!  If you are only running a little bit, run more!  If you can't find motivation, find a running partner.

Practice starts on Monday, June 16th.  We will practice on Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday at 6:00 PM and on Tuesdays at 7:00 AM.

Tuesday's runs will actually be earlier, because the plan is to be out to the hills BY 7:00 AM and begin running then.
