On Your Own Challenges: Fireworks Week Edition

Fireworks Week: On Your Own Challenges

The idea is to continue your training so that you’re ready to go on July 8. Between now and then, try to complete some of these On Your Own Challenges. These #OYOChallenges have been modified and adapted from a list that another local high school is going to attempt. Your goal is to complete as many of these challenges as possible, and document them with this sheet. Runners who complete ten of these challenges in the 9 days we have away from one another (6/29 to 7/7), and document them, will receive their choice of KXC shirt.

**Use social media to promote your endeavors by tagging Coach Clarey on Twitter @coachclarey and also add #OYOChallenges on the Tweet. Or use kanelandxc on Instagram
