Good start to the season! It is important to remember we want to build off of each day of practice with consistency in our running. This occurs when we stay healthy and take care of our bodies. Make sure you are developing good habits in stretching, eating, fluid intake, and sleeping. The work we do over the next month will determine how successful the season will be for each individual. We look forward to our first 5k of the season on Saturday at Elver Park for our annual Intrasquad/Alumni 5k.
