It's great to be in the full swing of things. A few main things for this week: we need to get our camp stuff figured out very soon, so we are moving up the date for registration for camp. Please have the registration form filled out by Monday (we need the count of who's going to plan food, transportation, shirts, and everything else). Payment is stull due by the 27th. Also, at the elementary, they are beginning to do some construction work, so please pay attention to it and stay out of their way (we may need to move locations of where we put our stuff and warm up). Because of this, Kids' Club (and Tuesday practice) will be moved to Pine View Middle School.
Please take a look at (and do) the following things (if you do them now, I won't have to talk about them in practice forever):- take a look at the 2022 schedule and start making some plans so you don't miss races (we have worked to update a little more in the last few weeks)
- registermyathlete - get it done! Go to registermyathlete.com (the registration part needs to be done this week - physical needs to be complete and on file at PVHS asap.
Fees can be completed later. - We will be doing the lunge matrix, leg swings and SAMs daily. These are great strengthening exercises that will help you get and stay healthy and injury free. So take a look at the videos and learn them.
- Take a look at the slides for the Panther Distance Crew Weight Program - each has a video linked to it to help you learn the correct form. Watch these and get a sense of what you would like to do for our first days in the weight room this week.
- If you are not getting our team information texts, text the code "@xcchamps" to 81010
- BOYS... we are getting new team shorts. If you will think you will be running Varsity (probably top 10 on the team) or might be running Varsity in the future, just want this style of short, or don't have a pair of shorts from previous years of PVXC, you need to order this. We will NOT do a team order, you just need to order your own. And order them now! There are two length options: the Adidas Men's Own The Run Split Short (black), they are shorter and have a more race-like feel. Here they are on Amazon for like $25. If you'd would like a little longer version, here are the Adidas Men's Own The Run Cooler Short (black), I would probably suggest the 5 or 7 inch inseam (9 is a bit long for racing). And here they are on Amazon for around $25.
Purpose of the Week's Workouts: This week's workouts. Overall our goal is building our foundation for a strong healthy season.

Fill out this form for our second week of practice (this past week). This is how we will earn our minutes awards for the season as well as tracking goals and progress.
Upcoming Events:
- High Altitude Camp - July 11-14 at Jacob Lake. Cost is $90. We will need to get this planned and figured out who is going very soon (because it is two weeks earlier than usual). This is a VERY worthwhile event to be part of... everyone on the team should make it a priority to join us. Those who are new, talk to your teammates about camp and see why you should plan on being there too. We will need help with rides and any parents that want to be chaperones. Please take a minute and fill out the following form for participation. Registration form due by this Monday, and Payment due by June 27th.
- 24th of July 2 Miler (but actually 23rd this year) - Saturday, July 23rd at Harvest Lane Park in the Fields. All athletes should be running and we are inviting family, friends, Kids' Club, and anyone else. Time TBA.
PVXC Thought of the Week:
"... one of the most powerful forces you will face... is discouragement. It can come in many different forms; sometimes it is the voice inside your head that says you aren't good enough, while other times it might come from giving your best and still not succeeding. Still other times it will creep in in ways you might not even be aware of. But make sure you always keep your guard up, and fuel your hear with encouragement."

One of my fav sections of this past week's reading. Come ready to talk about your thoughts and important ideas on Monday.
