The last week of summer is finally here, academically speaking of course. I'm sure for most of you it comes with mixed feelings - excited about the season starting but maybe not so much the beginning of classes for the semester. For the coaches, there are no mixed feelings - we can't wait to see everyone, catch up with the returnees, and welcome a new group into the program.
Everyone should have received an email last week with an attachment of important dates. Along with the mandatory meetings and functions, we'll gather informally for optional practices at the track on Friday and Saturday at 7:30 AM. For Saturday, we'll possibly arrange a carpool effort to get to the River or Kennesaw. Again, these are optional practices and attendance is not mandatory - though we certainly would love to see all!
Also of note, after our cross country team meeting on Friday, we'll have a team dinner, so don't make any other plans!
Post your running to the comments. Have a good last week on your own. The weather forecast here in the ATL calls for slightly lower temps and good chances of rain almost every day.
See you all by week's end!
72 for the week. Wednesday was a 5-4-3-2-1. Friday was 10 at 6:12.

Kaity and I had a great run the first day of FASET. I really enjoyed meeting her and running through ATL. I am excited about meeting the rest of the team.
I am getting used to some new headache meds so I had a pretty good week for that.

ReplyDelete50 miles this week in 5 days because of travel in the beginning of the week and thunderstorms towards end...soaked my legs in the ocean though and they're feeling much better. My long run today was the best this whole summer, and I'm excited about it!!! I also won't be able to make the optional run Friday because we'll still be driving down, but Saturday sounds good!! Can't wait to see everyone Friday at the meeting/dinner :)
