Excited to have everything coming together for Nike and our awards banquet this week. Reminder that the banquet is Monday in the PVHS commons. If we could have everyone bringing their food by 5:30, we can get started and rolling. We'd love to have all our athletes and families join us. Parents, please take a second and see what you could help bring for food for the banquet here.

I said it, and it's true. Thanks so much for the great season. Everything has ups and downs, and sometimes we win and sometimes we don't, but in the end its all the great memories and the people that we meet that make it all worth it. Thanks everyone. Get in the Boat!

Race Report:
Autumn Classic - Our 3200 w/ DH just keeps getting faster and faster. Some very good races. One of the goals of this race is to help everyone see how quick they are at the end of an XC season and see some solid results of all the work you've done for the past 5 months. Another goal is to get you kinda pumped to build those positive vibes into a track season. After finishing up the season and taking a short break, we want to start our build to track. And we just want to emphasize the importance of the connecting of seasons if you really want to improve yourself as a runner. As we say, "Consistency is Key!" and in this case, it is the consistency of weeks to months to even years that really help you develop and grow. Great job at the Classic, here are the Results.
Youngsters (our 6th-8th grade club):
Any Youngster who wants to come run with the HS club can now do it since our high school season is over.
PVXC Thought of the Week: "The people who achieve big and audacious goals are rarely obsessed with achieving big and audacious goals. They are focused on the path, on the process. They weather ups and downs. They take small and consistent steps knowing that big gains come as a byproduct of compounding effort over time."
-Brad Stulberg
Wanted to put a thought out there that matches with why keep running now and through the winter. It's great to set a goal and work toward it. But the real important (and, hopefully, THE REAL FUN) part of a goal is the journey to it. Instead of always focusing on, "this is the goal I have to get", spend your time and effort on the daily work and enjoying being with your teammates and helping each other. Then in time... AMAZING STUFF HAPPENS, but you don't even really see it coming because you spent all your time and effort enjoying the process along the way. Get in the Boat!
Congrats to everyone on a very good State meet (recap below) and a very fun season. We'll be continuing to train for our post-season races through early December and then taking our two week break before we gear up for track season, and we'd really like to encourage everyone to join us. A few do a winter sport, and that is awesome, keep doing it. Otherwise, we really encourage everyone to keep running with us (even if you aren't planning on doing a post-season trip to Az or California). Real breakthroughs in running come not from one or two really hard days or weeks, rather they come from many months (and even years) of the regular, often mundane, work of run after run after run.

PVXC Thought of the Week: "Pro tip: A Big misconception is that you need to be motivated to get rolling. You don't. Research shows that motivation follows action, not the other way around. You don't always need to feel good to get going, sometimes you need to get going to give yourself a chance at feeling good."
-Brad Stulberg
Far too often we focus on how we feel before we get started and let the sometimes negative feelings get in the way of our starting. Think of this: how many times have you been feeling blah and didn't want to do something, and then it ended up pretty great? We all feel that way. How often do you want to get out of bed (especially now that it is getting colder) to go for a run? But once you get yourself out and get going, rarely do we regret it. The run was great. Being with my team was great. This same thing happened to me a few weeks ago during fall break. After a long day of working at school, I didn't really feel like running. I just wanted to go home and crash. But I figured I would go up Turkey Farm and at least get a few minutes in. Once I got going, it was a great run. I saw a tortoise, got up into the dirt, felt pretty good coming back down... and as I finished, I turned a blah feeling into a really enjoyable 8 mile run. It happens to all of us. So next time you feel like hitting that snooze or sneaking home instead of going out to practice, just remember that the motivation will very likely show up once you go out and get started. Get in the Boat!
