Summer Workouts:

• Starting Tuesday, July 8th
• Practices every Tuesday & Thursday 8:00am SHARP!!!- ends about 10am
• Meet at Torrey Pines State Beach **we meet in the parking lot at the beach entrance off Carmel Valley Rd.

***Parents: the Park Rangers do not like you to drive into the park to drop off.  On Tuesdays and Thursdays they sually are not there when we begin, but are there at pick up time.  Saturdays are worse with the rangers there by 8:30.  Sometimes it's best to drop off and pick up on Carmel Valley Rd. 

Saturdays~ we will try to meet at different locations.  Saturday runs will include breakfast run at a runners house -TBA- schedule will be posted soon!!!

Summer Thoughts:

• running, training, getting in shape over the summer is important for successful racing in September and October.
• Summer should be fun: cross train! : swim, surf, bicycle, hike...in addition to your running!
• Summer vacations don't interfere with training- if you can't run- Cross Train!
• Do the Extras: strength work: sit ups and push ups (every day)
• Walk barefoot on the beach- SOFT sand!

                 **Walking in the soft sand will help develop strong feet and ankles

                **Play volleyball and ultimate Frisbee in soft sand too!

Your individual success is up to you- Don't make excuses-

        Team success is everyone's responsibility!

Consistency in running (training) is key to success.
