July 18-23 (Week 7)

What a great week at camp. We're so grateful to those who helped pull it off: the parents who drove and the camp staff who helped with everything, the Hill family presenters, and especially you athletes. Hopefully you experienced the caring and bonding of the team and continued to build relationships that not only help us reach our team and individual goals in running, but help us become better people throughout our lives.

Please take a look at (and do) the following things:

• take a look at the 2022 schedule and start making some plans so you don't miss races (there were a couple small changes, but the general plan is still the same)
• registermyathlete - More of you got this done this past week! The rest of you, 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 will need to be paid by the beginning of school.
• If you are not getting our team information texts, text the code "@xcchamps" to 81010

Purpose of the Week's Workouts: This week's workouts. We're starting up our seventh week into practice. Although there are days that feel like a grind, it does go quick. All the more reason to make sure you are at practice (and if not, getting your runs in while you're out of town). Nonetheless, it is never too late to start or to recommit. So if you know of anyone you would want to share this experience with, contact them and invite them out.

PVXC Thought of the Week: 
"Goals vs. Mission" 
This is the title of Ch. 19 (or maybe another chapter if you have the newest version of the book). As you read this chapter, right now might be a great time to think of the difference of these two terms and maybe think about what that means to you and our team. Maybe even something to talk about together over the next week of two.
