HARC Week

This is a fun and challenging week.  We will be going up the canyons each morning this week for some fun trail runs.  Because of the higher elevations, it may be a little cold before we start up the trails.  Bring a light jacket or long sleeve shirt that you can wear.

The evening practices will be short. We should be done in about an hour.  We will have a short recovery run and then talk about topics that will help race performances

We will meet at Hillcrest to caravan up to our run locations for all morning practices.  We will meet at Hillcrest for the evening practices as well.  We will be getting back later after these runs do to travel and breakfast.  We will finish the run and stretching between 8 and  8:15 and will usually make it back to Hillcrest by 9 A big thank you to all the parents helping out with breakfasts and transportation this week.
