We had a very solid week for Week 2.  Even with a lot of summer activities going on, we have kept our #'s up and are seeing some great running going on.  We are getting more minutes than we ever have in the summer... It is tough on the body and the mind, so make sure that you are giving yourself a chance to be successful.  That means healthy recovery - eating healthy foods, refueling quickly after workouts, rolling and stretching (even icing), doing some yoga, getting enough sleep, and drinking a lot of water. 

As we move into Week 3, we will see a few more minutes added to some of our runs as well as a little bit of hill work.  Let's continue to get out to practice - or if you are out of town, do your very best to get the workout in (if it works better to move the scheduled runs around a little, do it).  It would be great to see a few more new faces - especially Freshman; we challenge you to call up your friends and others you think would enjoy this and get them out to run with us. 

And finally, as we have started to bring in a little cross-training with weights, it would be very beneficial to everyone to do a little extra each afternoon - vigorous swimming or biking, pool running, Beast and Feast (HIIT workouts), yoga, or some other form of cross-training. 

Thanks for keeping it fun!
