Time Off.

For the next two and a half weeks or so, I strongly encourage the CHS XC team to take some much needed time off from running. At the end of a long season, your legs need time to heal up, as the mitochondria in your muscles are beat down, your running tendons and ligaments are all worn out, and your brain is sick of making your legs do this "running" thing over and over again.

Stay active by playing basketball, going skiing, lifting weights, raking the lawn, walking the dog, studying, whatever you want to do after school. Just don't so anything that involves running for more than five minutes at a time.

Trust me, Wolverine Track & Field Club starts on Nov. 13th, you will get plenty of running in then. Take some time off, you deserve it!
