Thursday Long Run
We will meet in Louisville for this week's long run using Coal Creek Trail. I found out last week when I went to buy bagels that the district shut off all P-Card access for the summer, presumably because they don't want us to make any activity TOO MUCH fun, but I've been told it's so they can close the books on the fiscal year. If anyone would like to bring something to share with the group as a post-run snack, that would be great! I will still provide popsicles and Gatorade.
Strength Training
I got word that within the next few weeks, we will be allowed back into the school's weightroom. The cross country team's slot is Tuesday and Thursday from 3-4 PM. I will make another announcement once that time comes, but I wanted to put it on your radar. This will be optional, as I know making it to multiple practices in a day can be challenging, but we saw a marked decrease in injuries last spring with consistent strength training.
Pearl St. Mile (6/27/2026)
There is a fun local opportunity to test yourself in a road mile if you feel up to it at the end of the month! Pearl St. is always a festive road race that we've had a lot of representation at. If you're interested, I encourage you to sign up! The website is linked below for your convenience. This is optional, but I will be out there!

Our mission is to build life-long runners who enjoy the challenges and rewards of self-discovery and growth through the lens of running. The sport does not have to be the only thing in our lives, quite the contrary, we should be using distance running to learn more about ourselves and how to handle trials and tribulations we might experince as students, employees, or even partners in a relationship. As my legendary college coach, Al Carius used to say: "Run for fun and personal bests."
Parents!
I get a lot of emails about missing communications because their child/children are not the best about communicating my weekly updates. You can use this website as a point of information, but if you also wish to be included on the weekly email updates, please fill out this form so we can make it happen!
