DON\u2019T FORGET – MONEY COLLECTION AND HAT\/SHIRT DISTRIBUTION ON TUESDAY 31 JANUARY<\/span><\/b><\/div>\n

We\u2019ll also be handing out the apparel. The dinners and tour are requiring large deposits so we\u2019re trying to simplify things for everyone by doing the collection now.\u00a0IF YOU CAN\u2019T MAKE IT AT THAT TIME ON TUESDAY, PLEASE GIVE YOUR MONEY TO A FRIEND TO BRING AND TO COLLECT YOUR KIT.<\/b>\u00a0The costs are listed below:<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
Normally, starting next week, we would have you start running 60 minutes on Tuesdays and 40-45 min on the weekends. \u00a0However, since you are doing the 10K on Sunday, you should hold off on that and instead do a leisurely 30 min on Tuesday 7 February. \u00a0I\u2019ll remind you of that in next week\u2019s email.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Just some thoughts about the 10K – don\u2019t stress about it as a race – treat it as another training opportunity where you can get that feeling of energy that comes from the racers and also witness the mass of bodies at the start and how you will likely not move very quickly at the beginning. \u00a0Don\u2019t push yourselves too much – we don\u2019t want any injuries! \u00a0 \u00a0You may feel great that morning or you may not – every race day is different. \u00a0So if you\u2019re feeling tired, slow down. \u00a0You will all have run the distance before so you know you can do it. \u00a0The most important thing is to have fun!<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
This week, since ASL\u2019s lower school is off on Thursday, we are splitting the groups. \u00a0Meg and Amy will run on Wednesday and the other coaches will do Thursday. \u00a0This is who we have down for each day (Krishna is away):<\/div>\n
Wednesday<\/span>\u00a0– Julie, Tamar, Maria, Laura, Rachel<\/div>\n
\n
Thursday<\/span>\u00a0– Sue, Noelle, Grace, Susie, Kris, Kira, Paige<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
We will meet on Wednesday at Barclay\u2019s as usual, just be aware that the regular MWF group will be there as well.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
