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.

Bender ran a gutsy race to earn 3rd Team All-State. Jake moved up well throughout the race to take 30th. Brennan rounded out our scoring with a very solid sub 17 effort in 40th. Elliot and Benji weren't far off placing 59th and 64th. The girls took 5th overall. Emmalee was our first finisher in 15th. Tevye had a very strong debut at State taking 24th. She was followed by Vanessa and Elin in 31st and 36th place. Avery finished up our scoring with a 67th place finish. She was followed closely by Andi in 77th and Katie in 83rd. We are super proud of our team. We were running among some of the best racers and teams in the nation and we did very well.

Alumni Report:
A few Panthers represented their colleges at their conferences races this past weekend. Trey ran for UVU and Jessica for Weber.

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: "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!
