Inspirational Running Quote #6

"My whole feeling in terms of racing is that you have to be very bold. You sometimes have to be aggressive and gamble."
- Bill Rodgers; 4-time Boston Marathon winner, 4-time New York Marathon winner, former U.S. record holder in the marathon

***
Remember what I've been saying: there's no need to play defense in cross country.

PRACTICE: 5v5 soccer tournament

With the rain keeping us inside, we had an exciting 5v5 soccer tournament. With only 2 teams remaining, we will finish up on Tuesday!

MEET TOMORROW: Tomorrow's meet is at Overlook Middle School in Ashburnham. We will have one bus going out and coming back. It is about an hour ride so bring plenty of food and drink for the whole trip and meet.

6TH GRADERS: Enjoy your time at Project Adventure! I'd like you to get out and run at least a mile for 3 of the next 5 days (Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday). You can do more if you like, but stop yourself at 1.5-2 miles a day.

Practice Review - Tuesday, October 5

PRACTICE: 1 mile recovery jog

Nice easy day with the meet yesterday. The rest of this week will be more of the same for the 7th and 8th graders, as we have a meet on Thursday. As for the 6th graders, I may put them through a hard workout tomorrow (the ones going to Project Adventure, at least) - I haven't quite decided what I'm going to do yet.

THURSDAY'S MEET
Thursday's meet will be held at Overlook MS in Ashburnham. The final destination is a few posts down. It will be a long ride, so bring plenty of food and drink for the rides out and back.
