We had a great first week of Boys Cross Country at Madison Memorial. We have 47 guys out this season and they are working hard. I'm excited for this season and hope we continue the progress that we have already seen during week 1. Guys have been putting in lots of miles, started stretching & strength routines, and even had our first workouts of the season. We have lots of work to accomplish to reach our goals but we are started in the right direction.
Remember to continue to bring a filled water bottle and mask to practice daily. Additionally, continue to be vigilant at practice and at home to use good Covid mitigation strategies...masking, social distancing, sanitizing, etc. If you have symptoms or are not feeling good...stay home and follow the MMSD protocol for return to practice.
Each day and each week is a stepping stone for our athletes to improve upon their fitness and we hope to continually make progress over the remaining 8 - 10 weeks of the season. Take care of your bodies by stretching, eating well, hydrating, and getting good SLEEP. This week we will run our first full 5k at Intrasquad on Saturday (8/29)...excited to see where our hard work lands us this early in the season.
