Max! Are you awake.

I was able to get this message on the board before Max went night night. Well at least I think I did. I heard, and noticed that some of you bit off a little more than you could chew at practice. It is better to under-estimate your abilities than over- estimate them. Also if you have any aches or pains I need to know about them before the workout, so that I am able to adjust your work load and prevent further injury.
After all long runs, unless I say otherwise, we will be doing strides. Actually a better name for these are buildups. Slowly build your speed up until you get to the 30 meter mark and then crank it up to your 90% speed and then glide out for the next 30 meters. Give your self some rest and do three more. Concentrate on form - eyes straight ahead- head not bobbling- hands not crossing the mid line of the body - landing on the balls of your feet - any part of your body going sideways is a waste of energy.

Always post stretch!

Parent meeting tomorrow night at 6:30 at Cougar Stadium.
