We're now in full swing with our 2008 track season.  We've raced a lot lately with our Saturday team meet, juniors at Timberstone meet on Monday and mini-meet on Tuesday.  As well, Wednesday practice involved interval workout for most of our team.  It's very important that coaches and parents are asking how the kids are feeling.  It's quite possible that some kids are experiencing sore muscles.  I strongly advise insuring the kids are well hydrated before and after practices/meets.  As well, ice is your friend.  Kids won't ice sore muscles without a parent or coach prompting them.  Trust me, I've consistently iced sore muscles over the years and it helps prevent injury.  Make sure your sore running child grabs an ice pack and applies while watching American Idol, the Tigers etc. before bed.
