December Update of All Things Good

Ahh, December!  Christmas time, New Years is coming up, and cross country has just ended!   Well actually, there is still another week of cross country.  Nike Cross Nationals is today in Portland Meadows and next week is the Footlocker Cross Country Nationals.  Both meets showcase some of the top runners in the country who you can expect to see running in the NCAA within the next couple years. Dyestat and Milesplit have coverage of these events for you.

Our cross country season in Louisiana just ended and I made a post about what the John Curtis and Southern Athletics runners accomplished this year.  It was great all-around.  Nike South Regional was a blast as well.  Next year I hope to pursue the team Louisiana for the Footlocker South regional again. This year there was not the support we needed to go, but hopefully runners will start to recognize the value of competing at the highest level!  Starting in January we will begin the LHSAA Indoor Track season and LSU has just completed their upgrade to the indoor facility.

Over the next week I will be finishing up finals at Tulane and will be graduating this year, so the past few weeks have been pretty intense!  Not to mention next weekend I will be taking three classes at the USTFCCCA National Convention in Orlando, Florida and also taking the tests associated the courses that week.  So more or less I will still be doing a lot of catching up!  But like I promised, the regular weekly articles on training and running news will be back around the week before or of Christmas.  I know you guys are excited!

Lastly, the plans for Vintage Performance and Southern Athletics are rolling along.  I'm putting together the summer schedule for SA as meet information comes out I will post it on the Training and Racing page.  Anyway, see you guys in a week or two!
