Run2day4life@Gmail.Com Club #229 Volume 33, Number 3 StrideRight floridastriders.com June/July 2014 MemorialBy Vicky Connell Day 5K Last year I was a first time Race Director for the Memorial Day 5K. It was a huge job to learn and I spent a lot of time nervously worrying about absolutely everything! But with a lot of help and a lot of hard work, it was very much a success. So this year, I thought I could relax a bit. I knew what had to be done and when I had to do it. I figured I’d just repeat my previous steps, and everything would be honky dory. Wrong! The best laid plans can so quickly degenerate! The day I sent in the paperwork to reserve our course, I dis- covered that someone had beaten me to it and we were out of a race course! That was a huge blow! What to do now?

This includes an athlete s extended family and caretakers, individuals who are significant to that athlete. Parent or sibling involvement is a key factor that motivates and enables athletes to play sports outside of their formal practices with the coach. Athletes and family members frequently say that they enjoy Special Olympics because it helps teach skills that enable athletes and their families to enjoy sports together in community sports programs as well as Special Olympics. The Home Training Guide provides tips and activities for athletes and families to follow BETWEEN organized Special Olympics practices. Guidelines for Family Home Training A consistent and dependable training routine provides familiarity and stability. Schedule training sessions into the daily routine. Set specific times for workouts during the week. Coaches should communicate with the families periodically throughout the training season. Provide assistance whenever possible.

We solved several problems that popped up last year and have a few things to work on for next year. When I arrived at 6:00 am, I saw that the gates had been opened before I got there. Thanks to General Mike Mayse and everyone else that beat me there, they were well under way to getting things ready. What amazes me every year, is that our volunteers just step forward and start getting things done. When they finish one job, they say, “What needs to be done next?” I tried to delegate more and set up area Managers this year. I think it went well. It was great to have the Amelia Island Runners Track Club (AIR) with us this year. I hope you had a chance to meet and socialize with them. I’ll go into more depth later, about our plans for next year to improve our Tent event. Right now, I need to recognize our “TENT HOGS”!
