Here's hoping all of you have survived what appears to be the worst of the winter weather (at least the cold!). Some of you have been participating in the winter sports season and I know a few of you have been off season training. The spring track season is coming up around the corner very soon. Again, if anyone wants to group train in the late winter/early spring, please let me know, we can make arrangements.
If you need suggestions or assistance in finding some off season programs to ready you for track this spring or cross country next fall, please let me know and I will do my best to send you in the right direction.
Checking the local running calendar, there are a few races just around the corner.
Gold's Gym is hosting a 5K fundraiser on February 26. You can contact Gold's for more information.
Cold Spring is hosting a 5K on March 5. Here is the link: http://www.irockrun.com/
Maple Lake has a 5k that is wildly popular as it ties in with their St. Patrick's Day celebrations on March 12. The link is here: http://www.maplelakechamber.com/sitepages/pid218.php
Lastly, you can tell the Earth Day Half Marathon is also approaching quickly as I am seeing more and more runners on the streets of the area lately. There is a 5k the night before as well. Here is the link: http://www.stcloudstate.edu/campusrec/earthday/
As always, please do your best to encourage your friends into joining you on the Cross Country team next fall. We would love to see the numbers incease!
Stay safe and stay healthy!!
