I hope everyone has had a great first week back at school and a restful weekend to gear up for week 2! This past week was an eventful one!
On Wednesday, we had an amazing turnout at our Road Runners Sports Night in Peachtree Corners. It was so good to see everyone getting new shoes and other athletic wear for this season. If you were not able to attend the event, please still consider getting new running shoes if the ones you currently have are 6 months or 300+ miles old. Old running shoes will exacerbate injuries!
Then, on Thursday, we had our Place Race at Brook Run Park! Firstly, thank you to the parents and alumni who attended the event and cheered on our awesome runners while they were running! Our runners impressed the coaches with their tenacity on the very challenging course. Well done to everyone who competed last Thursday! The coaches will be using the results to improve our training plans for the coming weeks. Runners, please remember that you are not permitted to race with a watch on!
Coming up next:
