Red Eye Relay is this Week!
What have you done today to get a little bit better?
As we head into the last two weeks of camp at NCC, we have picked up some summer school runners, and we are poised for our best summer of running yet! We leave for the Red Eye Relay at Indiana University on Friday, and the race is Saturday night into Sunday. It is always a tough, exciting challenge, and we are looking forward to it again this year!
For those of you going, here is the link to the Red Eye Relay site so you can see the information on what we're about to do. Here also is the link for the permission form and the itinerary for the weekend with contact information. Permission forms and money ($50 for gas/hotel) are due to Mr. Iverson by Wednesday the 21st.
For everyone, as the heat of July rises, we must continue to maintain our dedication and focus. We need to be sure to continue to work to keep our numbers high and enthusiasm HIGH! It's not easy to keep it up when there are so many excuses to sleep in. But check the timer on the right of this page. How many days until STATE? You only get today once. Make the most of it! If you haven't been at camp and want to begin when summer school ends next week, please feel free! We'd love to have you!

Please consider getting a Ferritin Test when you get your physical (you may have to ask the doctor specifically). Please consult this article for further reference, but it's a good thing to get tested regularly to avoid problems down the road. Many physicians will only consider this test if you have symptoms of iron deficiency. It is good, however, to get a reference test when you're healthy so that, if a problem should arise, you can compare the two results. This test is by no means a requirement, but just a good idea!
