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

Training Tips

1.  It’s okay to take walk breaks (run 1 minute walk 1 minute then progress to run 10 minutes walk 1 minute etc.).

2.Vary your training routes. This will prevent boredom and prevent your body from getting acclimated.

3.Speed work doesn’t have to be scientific. Try racing to one light post and then jogging to the next.

4.Push through rough spots by focusing on the sounds of your breath and feet touching the ground.

5.Do speedwork after you develop an endurance base.

6.Practice running harder in the last half of your runs.

7.Do abdominal breathing to get rid of side cramps or “stitches.”
