We are looking for a few more chaperones. Still looking for a mom (aunt, grandma) to join us. No cost for chaperones... other than food and your sanity.
Athletes - you need to get the "Participation Release" form in. They will be sent to Nike on Monday - no form, no race!
Foot Locker - If you are planning on running Foot Locker in Cali on Dec. 1, you need to register soon and get your hotels/travel arranged. That is all on you, but we'll keep training you.
2 Week Break - After the season, we will enter a mandatory 2 week break and resume running Dec. 17. During the break, we would like to rest up and heal and get our minds off running, but we would also like to stay active. We will lift a few times, play some frisbee, and do some yoga.
Final Surge - Although we have finished our "official" minutes for the season, please keep using Final Surge and keep track of your runs. Tracking your runs, shoe mileage, eating, heart rate, etc. can be a very helpful tool to your progress.
Autumn Classic - Great job at the races on Thursday! Not a big Youngster presence, but that didn't stop Little B from running a very strong race and taking the W. Next up was the ladies. We ran very strong from front group all the way through. Alli and Jess led throughout the race and ended up with a 1-2 finish at a new school record 11:00 and 11:08. Add in Rylee's 11:40 from the night before, Sylvia at 11:49, and Gracie and Jada at 11:52, our ave time was 11:30 and placed us 2nd in the nation. Taking Alli and Gracie's times, plus Pyper at 11:53, Jenna 12:07, and Sarah at 12:30 and the Sophomore girls are ranked the #1 Sophomore squad in the US. There were a lot of other great races as well; among the best were Kylee and Madeline's very strong runs. On the boys side, Julien won with a 9:45, Cooper followed with a huge race at a 9:51, next was Boston and Scottie at 10:00, and then Nathan finishing up the scoring with a 10:05. These great times brought an average of 9:56 and put us in 7th in the nation. Evan, Caleb, and Tyler were some of the other guys who also had great races.
Grades - We are going to be looking at your grades this week. Please bring a print out of them to practice by Wednesday. If there is a problem, we'll work on some things and get them headed in the right direction by Nike to go on the trip.
Thought of the Week: 7 ways to Conquer Fear from Tim S. Marshall
1- Stop overthinking
2- Focus on your strength
3- Visualize where you want to be
4- Be you
5- Let go of past failures
6- Take challenges head on
7- Maintain a "can do" mindset
Pretty good stuff here. We all run into fear, and that fear holds us back from being our best selves. Working on one or more of these ideas could be the key to helping you push through the fears that we create for ourselves and help you take a step in a positive direction to doing all the great things that you deserve to do.
