A Few Reminders
- During April, on Tuesdays at Colony High School, please meet at the faculty parking lot rather than the track due to soccer games on the fields.
- Remember to bring a watch, preferably digital, though doesn't need to be fancy.
- April can still be chilly and windy, make sure to dress in layers with hat, gloves, jacket and pants.
- Check Coaches Corner for tips on this week's run!
