Newsletter # 2- August 17, 2008

One more week under our belts and you can already see huge improvements in the kids! I promise if you continue to “Dream Big” and “Do Work” amazing things will happen! There’s lots going on so let’s get down to business.

This Week’s Schedule

Monday- Central Park @6pm

This will be a another distance night. The goal is to run a little further and walk a little less. Our goal is to get everyone to 20 minutes! If you’ve already achieved your group’s goal time, we’ll be shooting for 24, 36 and 48 minutes. We’ll also begin strength training tonight. Be ready to “Do Work!”

Wednesday- COC @ 6pm

Love the hill! It’s back to Sub-Killer Hill to try for one more repeat than last week!

Thursday- Heritage Park @ 6pm (It’s also the also the last night of the COC Summer Series!)

This will likely be an intimate group again this week…The workout will be similar to Monday…

Saturday- Bridgeport Park @ 8am

Another morning distance run…Keep rackin’ up those miles!

Fundraiser- “Get Fuel” Family Night Out!

Our first in a series of similar events is on Tuesday, August 26…When your family and friends visit Nick N Willy’s Pizza and/or Lady Di’s Cookies between 4 and 9pm, 25% of your purchase benefits Warriors XC! Look for flyers at practice this week or print one from the Fundraiser sidebar on this page. Make sure to invite all of your family and friends!

Pictures and Video

We’re working on an end of season commemorative DVD to celebrate 2008 Warrior XC! We’ll be collecting digital photos and video throughout the season to include in the DVD…Thanks to Doris Walker who has already snapped 3 million pictures during the first 2 weeks of practice…Keep your cameras with you at all times and share your creative vision!

Uniform Orders- URGENT

We need to place uniform orders by Tuesday of this week. Sizing is comparable to the track season uniforms. Please communicate any changes to Courtney James at practice on Monday or e-mail the club at scvaaxc@live.com by practice time on Monday.

Age Group Parent

We’ll be looking for 4 parents per age group (2 for girls/2 for boys) to play the role of “Age Group Parent” during the meets. Responsibilities include organizing the tagging of the kids, warm-up, escorting to the start-line, cool-down, emergency bathroom runs and cheering at the top of your lungs! Please see Courtney James if you’re interested. 

Yours in Running,
