c) Rest. Sleep. Recover.
This is a repeat…but it cannot be stressed enough. A key to staying healthy is adequate recovery. Sleep. Plan it. Set a specific bed-time and stick to it. Homework is important — but if you need extra time for homework, get up early. Studies show that adolescents that go to sleep within 15 minutes of a regular bed-time have up-to seven-times less illness in a year. Plan ahead. Plan your studies. Remember: “Champions are not made by what they give, but by what they give up.” Waking up 30 minutes early might be one of the easier things to “give up” to achieve your goals.
Excellent performances from all our Cougar runners at the Apple Jack Invitational on Friday at Aronson Park.
We had nice, cool weather and numerous PR”s (Personal Record times) run in all the races from Middle School to C to JV to Varsity.
A huge thanks to all our parents and runners who were supporting and encouraging all our teams in the races and at awards!

Parents and Runners-
Please read below for important information regarding Fall 2011 Cross Country and check out the links to August Practice Schedule and the 2011 Meet Schedules for JV/Varsity and Middle School.
SHOES–
Remember, Run N Fun in Burnsville will give you a great discount on
your training shoes and racing spikes, mention you are from LSHS.
Your shoes are your most important piece of equipment as a
runner…typically they last 300-500 miles and we easily put on that
many in a season so if you haven’t had a new pair in awhile, please
consider this as we start our season to prevent injuries.
Please BE ELIGIBLE by the first day of practice. Have all forms, your payment and physical turned in BEFORE Monday, August 15th.
Stop in the LSHS or middle school offices or go online. THANKS!
Think of yourself as an “EVERYDAY” runner and then if you are out the door 5 days a week that is GREAT!
We are excited to start the season, summer practices have been going really well, a huge thanks alumni Derek Schlager, Kayla Uphoff, Matt Nelson, Kyle Serreyn and our terrific captains for a very successful summer so far.
