Purpose of the week's workouts - This is our final week of the Pre-Competition phase before heading into our Competition training phase for the end of the regular season. We will have our last longest run of the regular season and a big workout on Wednesday before the Varsity heads up to the Bob Firman Invite in Idaho over the weekend.
PLEASE REMEMBER FOR ALL MORNING RUNS...
YOU MUST BE WEARING A WHITE OR BRIGHT SHIRT!
Here's our schedule for the week -
Monday: 5:30a at the HS for Levels 2,3,4. We will be doing our long run. If Level 1's want to come and get their long run in for the week that is okay. Afternoon practice on Mondays will always be a team meeting in the lecture hall at the HS followed by a short run. Practice starts at 3:00. Required for everyone.
Tuesday: Morning practice: 6:15a weights and short recovery run. Required for Levels 2,3,4 and optional for Level 1. Afternoon we will meet as a team at PVHS at 3:00p for our run. Required for everyone.
Wednesday: Morning practice: 6:15a. Required for Levels 3,4 and optional for Level 2. Afternoon practice at 3:00p. We will meet as usual, then carpool over to BHNP for our workout. Which means practice will run a little longer than usual (probably back to the school around 5:15). Required for everyone.
Thursday: Morning practice: 6:15a weights and short recovery run. Required for Levels 2,3,4 and optional for Level 1. Afternoon practice at 3:00p. Required for everyone. Although the Varsity will be gone, Thursday and Fri afternoon practice will be held as usual.

Marathon Aid Station - We will once again have the opportunity to be running an aid station at the St. George Marathon on October 6th.

Week 14 Athletes of the Week -
Tough at Practice - Jada, Jr. Jada has really been pushing hard to accomplish her goals for the XC season. Her commitment to practice and doing what it takes to reach the next level has helped her continually improve throughout the season.
Team Builder - Jason, So. Although he may never be able to fully make up for the "Shrek Incident", Jason's happy attitude and inclusiveness really help bring the team together.
Performance - Sarah, So. Sarah had a strong race up at Murray taking the title in the Soph girls race.
Hurricane Invite - We got a good preview of the Region course over at Sand Hollow on Wednesday. Mikey ran a strong race to place 4th in the Varsity boys race and Jose continues his improvement as he took 10th. Jada and Addi took 9th and 10th in the Varsity girls race. In the JV races, Kathya placed 8th and Zach took 6th.
Canyon View Invite - It was nice to be in the little cooler weather of Cedar on Saturday morning. We saw strong races throughout as some upper JV's earned the opportunity to race Varsity and held their own with other Region Varsity teams. Boston was 13th in the boys race and Sarah and Jenna leading the girls team. We also had Gabe placing 9th in the JV boys race.
Thought of the Week: "Remember your why. We don't get burned out because of what we do. We get burned out because we forget why we do it." - Jon Gordon
We've often asked... "Why do you run?" Hopefully every one of us has found our why. Maybe it is health or fitness, possible the fun with the team, a desire to be your very best self, the joy of conquering things that no one thought possible, and the list could go on and on. Once you have found your why, you need to hearken back to it on occasion (both when things are going well and not so well) to remember why you do this incredibly tough endeavor. As we head into our final month of the regular season, take a few minutes today and think back on your why. And if you haven't found your why yet, do some good soul-searching and figure it out.

Alumni Update - A big weekend for our collegiate PVXC'ers. Carson ran very well at the BYU Autumn Classic (held at USU). He took 6th on Weber's team and improved a minute and a half over last week's 7K time. For SUU, Josie had over a 30 second improvement from last year's 5K time at the UC Riverside Invite. Mike was SUU's 4th finisher in the Open race.
