Drury Cross Country 1000 Mile Club

Drury Cross Country now has a "1000 Mile Club" for those runners on the team and other runners/alumni/friends associated with the program. The goal for individual runners will be to log at least 1000 running miles from June 10 through the end of October. As each runner hits his or her 1000th mile a "1000 Mile Club" t-shirt will be awarded. The goal for the Drury team is to get all runners to and past the 1000th mile sometime during the season so we will be ready to race as a team in October and November.

Former team members and boosters who contribute to the program or buy a t-shirt are eligible to participate. Until practice starts everyone is on an honor system and keeps track of their own mileage. As a suggestion, mileage can be tracked on web sites such as logarun.com or running2win.com, or phone apps such as mapmyrun or endomondo sports tracker, or a simple excel spread sheet, or an even simpler college-ruled spiral notebook (what I used a few years back) with a day's mileage on each line and a whole month's training on one page. Heck, even a napkin would work, as long as it's accurate and doesn't fall apart.

Remember, only miles run after June 10, 2012, and before October 31, 2012, count.
