Weekly Schedule (Monday – Saturday)

Monday

We had a great practice today!  Today was what we called a Hill Fartlek!  In Short, they ran fast up the hills and easy on the rest of the course.  Sounds easy but talk to your kids… it is a deceivingly hard workout!  They did great!

Breakfast afterwards was a hit!  Kids ate, and ate, and ate!  Kids watched MacFarland, Without Limits.. both running movies.  At some point, the movie switched to K-Pop Demon Hunters and Cars!

Some of the kids moved outside to the trampoline and swings!

We are just glad they had a great time and spent time with their teammates!
