Week 3

Another strong week for our team.  Although we missed a large group of you off to various activities at the end of the week, we still had a strong group out to practice throughout the week (and thanks to those who ran while they were away... and blogged it!)
One of our requirements for coming to camp (and racing when we eventually get to the race season) will be entering your minutes for each week.  Please go back and enter your Week 1 Minutes if you haven't yet.  And please enter you Week 2 Minutes here.
Speaking of camp, please don't pay your $90 yet.  We will let you know when and where to pay that money when you get invited to come to camp.  You will need to be running Level 1 workouts for a couple weeks before you are invited to camp. So get recording your runs (fastrunningblog or week reports - which can be found on the right of the pvxc blog).

We really can't quit telling you all how great you are doing... this has been the best beginning of a season we've ever had!  But now we get to some important weeks.  The novelty of the start of a new season has started to wear off, morning alarms come pretty early, the heat is really on, and we still have a lot of things going on that take us away from practice.  NOW IS THE TIME THAT YOUR SEASON IS REALLY MADE.  To do great things in races, you have to put in a great amount of work right now.  Amazing goals are reached with amazing amounts of work in the summer.

As we push our bodies further, make sure you are taking care of yourself with proper rest, hydration, nutrition, and footwear.

Schedule for the week:
The full workout schedule can be found here (or over on the right hand column).

Another reminder to get our texts using code @a24b37 at remind.com or using the remind app.  And also follow the team on Twitter and Insta @pvxctrack.

And before we go, let's catch up our Athletes of the Week from the first week of the season:
Kylee Brown, So - Kylee had a strong Freshman season for us last year.  She was chosen for her great work ethic, positive attitude, willingness to get to know new athletes, and blogging each of her runs.
Caleb Adams, So - Caleb, like Kylee, was fairly new to running in his Freshman year with us.  He always works very hard and is an excellent example of doing everything he can to improve.
