Getting in Shape for Turkey Day!

Several Panthers are planning to run a Turkey Trot in whatever city they plan to celebrate Thanksgiving. Some Turkey Trots are 5k (3.1 miles), some are 4 miles and some are 5. Regardless, this plan should work for you. If you're a newbie, don't worry, you can do it. Your goal should be to finish the distance at the best pace you can manage, even if that means walking.

Please see the links on the right side of the blog. These are some local Turkey races. If you are planning to participate in a different race, let us know and we'll post it.

If you're a long time runner, please be sure to encourage our new runners.

Here's a Training Plan for a Turkey Trot in 5 weeks! You’ll be hitting the pavement/treadmill 3 times a week for 5 weeks. You can do it. Be sure to have a great pair of running shoes, dress for the weather, stay hydrated and don’t quit!

Long time runners, if you have suggestions or tips, please post them under the comment section.

If anyone is looking for a running buddy, please post under comments too. If you're hitting a certain trail, let us know, so we can join you!

Please note that in place of the regular Sunday schedule, the Youth and Mini team will have an open tumbling class on Sunday, July 12 from 1:30-3:30. The athletes on the junior Fury team should NOT attend the tumbling class. The Fury athletes should remain in choreography camp.

Fury and Fierce Choreography Camp

Choreography camp starts next week! Be sure to arrive 10 minutes early. Wait in the lobby until the coaches come to get you. When your time starts, you must be completely ready (shoes on, hair in ponytail with a bow, metal out of your body and etc). Don't waist time by not being ready on time. Be completely ready.

Bring a water bottle and put in your cubbie. No farting around at camp. Camp is all about getting down to business. We'll fart around later in the summer but not at camp.

Camp is closed to parents. However, we will plan to do a parent show 'n tell on the last day of camp! Moms and Dads are welcome to come visit (in the lobby) during scheduled breaks.
