Dear Sonia: When I start a race I get too excited and I take off a little too fast, what should I do to
make me calm down? Sincerely Jose Dear Jose : For starters
make sure you line up in the middle or the back. The crowd is thicker and slower and it will slow you down. Just don't run
anyone over. Check your diet. Are you eatimg something
before the race that gets you excited? Ask your leader, parents or a trusted teacher.
Dear Sonia, I just started
running with SRLA this year. My frieinds that joined last year can run without stopping. I stop constantly. What do I do. -
Hey Me Dear Hey Me, Keep running. Slow down. Start at a slow pace, so slow that you don't need to stop. Every
day you run try to maintain the same pace and if you feel good pick up the pace a little bit. The more often you run the more
you build your endurance. Why do you stop? If you stop because you are out of breath don't worry. The more you run the longer
you will be able to go. If you stop because something hurts talk to an athletic trainer or doctor to see what can be done.
Dear Sonia, I have been in SRLA for 7 years
and I want to know if SRLA offers scholarships? - Need to go to School Dear Need to go to School, Yes SRLA offers scholarships. See your group leader and check this site after the marathon. Your
leader will be given the information at the first leader meeting after the marathon. Good luck!
