SUMMER!!!!!!

It's about this time of the year that I start dreaming about all things summer. I start planning summer vacations, dream of sitting out on the beach with my kids, swimming, and of course RUNNING!!! Even though my favorite time of the year to run is fall (hello crunchy leaves!), there is a fond place in my heart for summer running. It can be hot and unpleasant at times; however, I love the feeling of the sun on my skin, sunglasses on my face, and finishing a hard run with a jump in the lake or a pool. Awesome-sauce for sure.
Speaking of summer, swimming, and running, I can't wait to share with you some of the fun things Holland Christian XC teams (both HS&MS) have planned for the summer. 

#ExtraMilers


#ExtraMilers running group that meets all summer long to help kids build a base for cross country in the fall. Starting June 12, the group will meet on Mondays at the Dow Center and Wednesdays at Tunnel Park from 7-8:15pm. This group is open to all local schools and is led by HC cross country coaches. Even though these workouts are geared towards the high school teams, your middle school coaches will be at these runs all summer! Parents and siblings are welcome to run or walk along too. Bring your friends! Contact megan@runthemitten with questions. 


RUN for the SUN 5k

We are putting together an HC team for the Run for the Sun 5k on July 19. Contact megan@runthemitten.com for registration details. The 5k cost for XC team has been covered by a generous donor!!!
