State Preparation

What you need to know for Friday
We will leave on Friday at approximately noon. We will workout before school (7:00- 8:00). Come to school ready to run. If you would like to change after the workout we can get you into a locker room. This will not be a heavy workout (starts and strides), you may not even sweat. We will run in the grass so you might want to bring an extra pair of shoes and socks.

What to bring?
- Clothes (1 workout change of clothes.) Friday we will go to the mall after we walk the course. Pajamas. Saturday warm-ups and uniform.
- Money enough for probably 3 meals (State t-shirts?, snacks and drinks)
- No Swim Suits
- Personal Hygiene Accessories (extra contacts, glasses, solution, toothbrush, deodorant, etc.)
- Running Shoes / Race shoes
- i-Pod, Playing Cards, etc.
- Snacks and drinks

Bring your items to school with you on Friday.
Bring these items to me and I will store them for you.
It should be cold on Saturday, so you will want to bring cold weather gear!!!!!!!!!!!!
Our uniforms must match. If you don’t have our white spandex say something to one of your coaches immediately and we will get you your pair.
