Parents/Guardians

Dear Parent/Guardian,

If you are reading this then your child has taken an interest in running a mile race.  This race is no cost to you because Dan Price of State Farm Insurance is sponsoring it.  Both Dan and I look forward to your son or daughter participating in this race and would encourage them to prepare physically for the race.  If your son or daughter is highly motivated to train for the race then I would encourage you to run/walk with them.  Many children currently have plenty of energy to run a mile.  They just don't have an understanding of what it means to pace for that distance.  I do discourage an extreme amount of training.  Children at this age are growing and I don't want this to have a negative affect on their personal health and well being.  The following is an appropriate workout schedule that is not overwhelming for a child currently in the 4th or 5th grade.  This is a loose plan and missing a few days is not critical.  Thank you for your time.

If you have any questions please feel free to contact me at BEHS (435-734-4840).  Coach Jeff Rawlins
