switching gears

Post-regionals... down time for some, return to light running and workouts for others.   Determine what you feel you need.  Communicate with coaches if needed.  Everyone should, at a minimum, continue some mobility work and stretching.

Teamworks calendars should be up-to-date.  Refer to your calendar to know whether you have practice or whether you have an "additional day off".  Training listed on an "additional day off" is suggested training.  You may complete the training as listed or you may take the additional time off.  If something seems incorrect to you, please contact us.
