exam week '15

NOTE: practice time this week will be 8:30 AM.  This should allow you to get to both the 2nd and 3rd exam periods.  If you have an exam during the first exam period at 8:00 AM, TEXT COACH and an alternate time will be arranged.

Those leaving for home at the end of the week should stop by the office to discuss a mileage plan for next year.  Be prepared to go over how much you have run this year and your thoughts on mileage for next year.  Generally a 10-15% increase in mileage is normal, anything below 10% is more conservative and anything above 15% is more aggressive.  Think about how this year's mileage felt and how the year went, as well as your thoughts on how you did with your recovery and health maintenance plan.
