Happy Summer!
Hopefully all of you have started your summer training. If not, lace up those sneaks and start today! Click HERE for your summer mileage guide. You have 40 days to get in a solid base before we meet for preseason.
New Shoes: Everyone should start their summer training in a new pair of running shoes. I recommend the Delaware Running Company in Greenville. They are staffed by runners, give a discount to high school athletes, and have the best return policy around. If a new pair of shoes are not working for you in the first 30 days, they will replace them. Click HERE for store information.
State parks are great places to run in the summer. Lots of trails and shade. Please keep in mind that there is a fee to enter the parks. The fee season runs through November so you may want to purchase a pass for your vehicle. Click HERE for information or visit any park office.
The Captains will be organizing some runs this summer. If you are new, please email me your cell phone number and the captains will add you to their summer group text. Once the season starts, we will be using another platform for communication. More on that in August.
First Day of Practice: Monday August 14th 8AM at Bellevue State Park. We meet by the picnic tables next to the track.
Eligibility: You must have a current DIAA Sports Physical on file with the BHS nurse BEFORE the first day of practice. The physical must be dated after 4/1/23. Bulldog Sports lists all Summer Wellness Center Hours. You can also find the DIAA forms you need in the bottom left hand corner of the page. Click HERE. Please do not wait until August to schedule your physical. You cannot practice without one. If you are having trouble getting an appointment, Silverside Go Care offers sports physicals. Print out the DIAA forms and fill out your information before your visit.
Email me with any questions! That's All for Now!
Happy Running!!!!
