Saturday we will be participating at the Coaches Invitational. You are being asked to bring canned goods to benefit local food pantries. You can find information on the canned food drive here:

Some schools bring enormous amounts of food. Several years ago, in fact, in anticipation of the canned food drive, the team I was coaching collected canned goods from each athlete every Friday throughout the season (their idea, not mine.) The team won a pizza party prize but more importantly made a valuable contribution to those less fortunate than themselves. I am hoping everybody attending Saturday's meet can bring one or two items. There will be 4,000 athletes running on Saturday. Think how wonderful it would be if 8,000 items of food were donated. Thanks in advance for helping out!
Today will be an easy run for all . . . 40-60 minutes. Everybody will head in the direction of the Town Park in groups of comparable abilities and return with those groups. Why? Not entirely for training purposes. Several people have commented over the past few weeks that they have seen the team running through town and they were impressed by your ability and camaraderie. YOU are the best advertisement for our fellowship of healthy athleticism!
Warm up, easy run, strides, core, stretch. It all begins at 2:30 when it will be 59 degrees and mostly sunny! See you there . . .
