Week of Oct 18th - Roller Skiing and Ninja Camp

P.S. the weather wasn't as nice so I posted a photo from last year😎

Wednesday – Running and Strength Training

Now that we've mastered our new exercises, we'll be doing even more running and moving around on Wednesdays.

Arrive by 5:15PM and meet at The Palace so that we can get running right at 5:30PM and the practice will run until 7:00PM.

The Hardwood’s Wednesday Night Cross Series is also running at the same time, so we are going to cheer on some of our favourite cyclists while they are working hard on the Cross Course.

Be sure to bring good trail running shoes as well as some warm clothes for afterward as the sun will be going down as we are wrapping up.

Saturday & Sunday - Fall "Ninja" Camp

The weather is looking cool this weekend, but we will have so many fun activities to keep us warm!

With the Senior Skiers practicing at Mt. St. Louis on Saturday, it seemed like a good opportunity to join them!  I hope everyone is ready for the amazing view from the top of the ski hill!

Please arrive by 9:15AM so that we can get Ski Walking by 9:30AM.  Practice will run until 11:30AM and we are asking parents to drive back to our house (8-10min) and enjoy your packed lunch with us on our deck.

Parents are welcome to enjoy the area in the afternoon, or simply drop their kids off and go!

Full details on the weekend will be forthcoming in an email later this week but do make sure you have a warm sleeping bag, and warm hat, for Saturday night.  I'll also be sleeping outdoors as well so as to watch over the group.

Pick-Up will be on Sunday from our place just before lunchtime.

As for the rest of your week, here are some suggestions for other activities should you need them:

• Be active every day, get enough sleep and be sure to always eat healthily

• Running – Try for 20-30min.  Start easy, but find some hills if you can!

• Cycling – Try for 45-60min, either on-road or off-road

• Fun at Recess – Play Basketball, Touch Football, Grounders, or just about anything that has you moving and jumping

• Strength Training – Try to do one additional Run/Strength session each week.  Perhaps each Monday combine them with a run in your local park or forest!

• Be sure to keep working on your mobility either through stretching, yoga, pilates, etc.  There are LOTS of great resources online

We know that most of you are quite active between practices, just be sure you are doing something for 45-60min most every day.

Attendance Sheet

We will be going back to using an attendance sheet so that if you are running late for whatever reason we know you are coming.

If you are running late for whatever reason, please post in the WhatsApp Group so that we don't leave you behind and/or we can let you know where to meet, or catch-up, with us. Please see the email from Ray Ryan about joining the WhatsApp group.

Please click HERE to see the Attendance Sheet.  Please simply COPY and PASTE either the Green or Red cells for YES or NO under the practice date.

You might need to get permission to edit the sheet from me, so be prepared for that as well.

See you on the Trails,

Sarah, Bronwen, Adam and Jason
