This Week's Schedule:
09/27 - FCA meet at Southeast Christian Church
What a great afternoon for racing yesterday! The weather was perfect. Many hustled to the course immediately from school and the last race finished just as the sun set! Congratulations to all the runners for once again giving it your all on the course AND keeping up with your studies. Last night many runners of all ages were at the meet from 3:40-8:00pm. Wow, you are fast AND smart. Incase, no one has told you lately, you are amazing and your families are amazing for helping you grow in to such a well-rounded person. You are such great role models for other HLS students, your siblings, and parents.
Clothes:
Fall weather means faster times, but not cool enough to add layers. Don't overdress your runner just because you are feeling a little cool standing sideline. Runners will warm up as soon as they start moving. Have your runner layer up before and after the race, but only uniforms are appropriate for races this time of year.
Fuel:
Don't forget to stay hydrated on race and non-race days! If you need a pre-race snack idea try a combo of two of these: grapes with pretzels, goldfish with apple slices, peanut butter on celery and whole wheat crackers, trail mix & dried fruit or clementines. Save the protein bars and power drinks for after the race.
