Last Coaches Evening Run--Beginning of Captain's Practice

Runners!

I hope that you are all logging some miles regularly.  In only 11 days we begin practices where you will be running 5 days in a row.  You want to be "broken in" before then!

Tonight Mr. Parry will join you for our last Wednesday evening coaches run while I will be heading to Mpls. for a coaching clinic.  Please know that I ran at 6 a.m. however! ;-)

Now, there will be "captain's practices" held at 9 a.m. beginning tomorrow morning, August 1 through next Friday, August 9. NOTE the TIME CHANGE from previous morning runs.

If there are family trips, job commitments etc. that don't allow you to be there, MAKE SURE you are RUNNING on your own!  Add in some sit-ups and stretches to round out the workouts.

If you are experiencing soreness, ICE is the best go to remedy.  You may want to add water to Dixie cups and keep them in the freezer and then do ice massage for about 15 minutes a couple times a day.  

One last thing.  Let's talk about PEE.  I know, it's gross.  However it is an important indicator of your level of hydration.  The only time your urine / pee should be darker is in the a.m. or if you are taking certain vitamins. Otherwise, if your urine is dark(apple juice), you NEED MORE WATER! Make it a habit to drink a full glass of water every morning when you wake up as well as throughout the day.  If you haven't already, watch the color of your urine/pee to get an idea of what clear, well-hydrated urine should look like (lemonade).  The time to hydrate is now!

Remember, only 11 days til the start of the 2013 CC season!

Go Tigers!
