[quote=Anonymous]Great advice in this thread. I second the importance of good running shoes, fitted with the help of knowledgeable staff at a running store and replaced every 3 months or so. Think of those shoes as safety gear. I would also make sure your daughter eats and hydrates well to support her new running habits. Girls that age (and our culture in general) can get focused on certain ideas about “healthy eating” that they don’t realize different people have different needs at different times. It is amazing how much energy cross country runners burn. Learning to fuel herself properly for running will help her enjoy the sport more, avoid injury, and have more success. If she doesn’t already, have her take a multivitamin with iron to ward off anemia (a common problem for female runners). My daughter started cross country in 9th grade as well and it is a wonderful sport! We have found the teams to be tight-knit, supportive, and full of terrific kids. [/quote]
