Just a few pointers for this first week! Don't forget that most of this week is on your own (there will be occasional team get togethers), but this is a chance to just get out there and start getting back into a routine and just let the body and mind just enjoy running!
1. Don't over do it! We know that you have big goals (and you should!), but YOU must be patient and work your way into this. Overall, we would rather you do a little less mileage, BUT IT BE QUALITY, over lots of slow miles, just to get them. In time, you can definitely do both!
2. Take care of yourself! You must focus on hydrating well, so that your actual run is excellent. You need to focus on eating well (not skipping meals, and replenishing your body after you run...with in 30 minutes of your run). You need to sleep well...let your body rest, because we are sure that you are NOT just running during the summer...you have other things that you will be doing throughout the day and summer!
3. Be there for each other! Running is not the easiest thing to do, but when we have each other, it is so much more doable and even FUN! Talk to someone you haven't met before...get to know them a bit...get out of your comfort zone and just introduce yourself! HELP EACH OTHER!
4. Just enjoy the RUN! If you will focus on just LOVING what we are doing and why we are doing it...NOTHING WILL STOP YOU FROM BEING GREAT! Run with a Smile...even when it gets tough!
5. Please be safe, courteous, and smart on your runs! For example, if you happen to do any night runs on the golf course, please know that you must be discrete and give all golfers the right a way! (They should not know that you are around). Obey traffic laws...we want people to be in awe of you as you run, not disgruntled because you are a punk teenager running wherever you want!
Please get on the Team TEXT, if you haven't yet...so you don't miss any possible Team runs during the week, or any other info that could get sent out to you.
