Thursday Night Runs

The thursday night runs have started and I have enjoyed meeting up with some team members for a weekly run. However, it would be nice to see more of you out there. The runs are a good oportunity to stay connected with your team and keep motivation rolling for summer running. I hope you all are putting in the daily miles even if you can't make the thursday runs. Remember, there is nothing better you can do to improve team and your own success this cross country season than to put in a mileage base over the summer. Besides, this is something you like to do..right? Don't forget to record your miles in the training log.

I have decided to mix up the location of the thursday night runs for a little variety. The following is a list dates and locations for the rest of the summer.

Meeting time for all runs is 6:45 pm with the run starting at 7:00 pm sharp.

All are welcome and we divide up into groups to accomadate different ability levels.

6/25 Creve Coeur Park (upper level gravel lot by the tennis courts)
(Coach Fader won't be at this one)

7/2 Katy Trail - meet at the Katy Trail parking lot on the St. Charles side of the Page /364 Bridge. Directions: Take 270 to the Page/364 exit, heading west. Go 6 miles to exit 14, Upper Bottom Road / Arena Parkway. Go right (north), and take an immediate right on Hemsath. Follow Hemsath for 0.3 mile, and take the right turn into the parking lot just after Hemsath curves left.

Welcome

Welcome to the intial post of the Pattonville High School Cross Country Blog. The purpose of the blog is to serve as a message board for all things involving PHS cross country. Topics will likely include important team announcements, current events, training information, meet directions and results, inspiration, fun and anything else deemed applicable to the team members, parents and supporters of the team.

The former PHS cross country website at http://phspacers.isportsdot.com/index.php appears to be dead, so until a new site is developed (not happening anytime soon) this blog will also take it's place for now.

This blog is a work in progress and I'm always open for ideas or suggestions for topics that would be beneficial to share with the team. Email me your thoughts or ideas at sfader@psdr3.org
