• You will need money for food and snacks, other than the breakfast provided by the hotel
• Don't forget your running shoes and racers. You might want road shoes or blank spikes in your spikes for the race.
• You will be school excused, but still need to talk to your teachers and get any work missed.
• You need to be caught up on classwork and assignments before you leave.
• Do NOT test rules on this trip, especially in the hotels or you will be going home via parents.
• We will get back to Farmington High sometime Sunday night.
• Let's go have some fun, race hard, and be respectful and well-mannered while we are down there.

Thanksgiving Week

Sorry for the late post, we just moved and I don't have internet yet so sorry about that. We are going to start indoor training for all events next week after we come back from the break so look for the blog Sunday night to give you info on practice times for next week.

Distance, here is the schedule for this week:

Monday November 19th - No Practice, run on your own (4-5 miles)

Tuesday November 20th - 3:15 Practice @ Farmington High

Wednesday November 21st - No Practice, run on your own (3-4 miles)

Thursday November 22nd - Thanksgiving. No practice. Sign up for a 5k somewhere if you can, if you can't then do a 3 mile tempo.

Friday November 23rd - No Practice, run on your own (4-5 miles)

Saturday November 24th - No Practice - Do a workout later in the day if the snow clears up. If we can let's do 4 x 800 @ Goal race pace ( 3 min active recovery) and then 4 x 400s @ 5 seconds faster than race pace per 400 (90 seconds active rest). If the conditions sill aren't great to do speed let's get a 5 mile stamina run in. So NO PRACTICE.

November 12-18th

Thanks to everyone who came out to our indoor track meeting. We will get started with practice for sprints, hurdles, throws, and jumps when we get back from Thanksgiving break. Check the blog to find practice times when we get back. Those that are on the distance team will will continue to train through until footlocker (which is only a few weeks away).
