P.E. Class this week, January 28 to February 1, 2013

I would like to remind parents to send your children dressed in an appropriate way for the days that they have P.E. class:

-  No dresses for the girls

-  No jeans

-  No crocks

-  No sandals

-  No boots

Children who are not wearing the appropriate clothing will not be allowed to participate in P.E. class.

100 Beginner Running Tips

Prevention Tips

1.   Neosporin (or another antibiotic cream) is good for chafed areas (if you didn’t use your BodyGlide!).

2. Make sure you cut your toenails short enough so they don’t jam into your Shoes!

3. Put some BodyGlide between your toes on long runs.

4. Be careful about running on paths that force you to run consistently on a slant. It’s hard on the hips knees and IT bands.

5. Don’t stretch before a run. Warm up by walking briskly or jogging slowly for several minutes.

6. Do not ice for more than 20 minutes at a time.

7. Do not use the hot tub after a race. It will increase inflammation and hinder healing.

8. Frozen peas make a great ice pack for aches and pains. A thin t-towel wrapped around them makes the cold more comfortable.
