A couple important announcements:
- We Need Drivers For Camp - We need around 20 seats both up and back for camp. We will be leaving for camp Monday, July 29th at noon and coming home Thursday, August 1st at around 9:30-10:00a. If we don't get drivers, it will be a long run up and back for some of you! Also, packing list below...
- Mrs. Peterson (PVHS counselor) will be at practice tomorrow (Monday) when we finish our run to help you with your schedule, class changes, etc. PLEASE TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THIS and get your school schedule all fixed up tomorrow.
Purpose of the week's workouts - Technically, we are finishing up our Foundation Phase of training this week. We will continue to build minutes for the next few weeks and then try and hold pretty steady through most of the season, but the work of building up is nearing it's peak. Levels 2 and 3 will have a short afternoon run added to their schedule on Wednesday. This run is on your own (or with teammates); be careful in the heat.
We have hit a bit of a snag on our 24th of July races (there is no Hurricane 5K this year) for Wednesday. We still really want everyone to run a 24th of July race coming up. So one option is to go to Enterprise (I don't have any registration info) and the other option will be our team hosting an informal family fun run. The course will be a 2 mile run around the neighborhood of Clover/Harvest Lane. No cost, some treats after, families invited to run, walk, bike along. Team needs to meet at the little neighborhood park (2400 S 20 E) at 6:30a to get some warm up miles in. Families and whoever else can show up for the 7:00a start time. If you are out of town, please plan accordingly and find a race or stage your own time trial. Our long run this week will be on Friday, not Monday. So Monday will be at 7:00a at the elementary and Friday we will meet at 6:30a in the back of the double churches in the Fields.

Week 7 Athletes of the Week - (we will come back and update these after they are announced on Monday)
Tyler Hansen - Tyler, a Senior, has had a very solid summer of running showing his dedication and commitment to the team and his training by getting all his runs in even when he was back East for a month.
Kyanne Klein - Kyanne is coming off a strong Freshman track season and really building to a positive Sophomore campaign.
Thought of the Week: "The scariest moment is always just before you start."
-Stephen King
We thought this might be appropriate as we close up the summer soon and get closer to racing. Although a 24th of July race really isn't the most important thing in the world, sometimes we stress ourselves before a race (or a test, or the first day of school, or starting a new job, or whatever). However, that anxiety and fear we have grow within ourselves almost always is gone once we get going. Starting something really is the toughest thing. After you've got going, your natural skill and preparation will take over and you'll end up doing great. So, work to set aside that anxiety of getting started - whether it be some nerves before a Pioneer Day race or whatever else - and know that you have prepared well and are going to do your very best. Then, go do your very best!
