If you haven't already gotten your physical and paperwork taken care of, please do so this week.  It is also highly recommended to get a full blood work up including getting your ferritin checked.  Many distance runners tend to have low ferritin without knowing it.  This can affect your performance and overall health.

Athletes are expected to run on their own in the mornings this week.  Athletes will be meeting on Tuesday at 7:30 pm at the RHS track this week.  First official day of practice is Monday, August 22nd.
