Week of Nov 18th - Be Patient

Be patient Mr. Bear - Snow is Coming in the next few weeks!

We saw some even more progress this past week with your technique and with your fitness.  We're certainly going to be ready for when the snow arrives.

There is a lot on the go this Saturday before/during/after training, so please be sure to read all the emails and notices that have been sent

Tuesday – Running and Strength Training at Hardwood

We've certainly had great luck with the weather the past few Tuesdays since the time change and our streak looks to continue.  We will once again do a pole run in the DARK and delay the start of online strength for yet another week.

You MUST have a good working HEADLAMP for practice as well as Poles.

Please arrive between 5:20PM to 5:25PM so we can get moving by 5:30PM.  We might be able to sneak into The Palace for 5-10min on the Ski Ergs closer to 7:00PM as the Seniors should be done by then.

Saturday – Picking Corn!

We're helping HSB out with a little bit of a project on Saturday morning that will help us out in the end.

We'll be working on the Sochi Extension picking corn cobs from stalks that have been left standing beside the ski trails.  Those stalks will create a nice wind break for the winter, but the farmer wants to get the cobs off the stalks to feed their animals.

Look for an email with the final details later this week, but know that we'll be meeting at the Sochi Extension Parking lot - see HERE - at 9:30AM and we will finish at 11:30AM.

The corn picking won't take the full 2hrs, so we'll go for a Pole Walk once we're done.

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 healthy
• 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 some of the exercises that we do at practice on your own.  These can all be done either inside or outside and I would encourage everyone to try to do one additional Run/Strength session each week.  Perhaps 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.
