Purpose of the week's workouts - This week, everyone will see a little drop in their minutes. With the first week of school and many runs in the afternoon, we don't want to stress the body too much. The new schedule and the beginning of school makes it all the more important to be taking care of yourself - you must stay hydrated, so drink a lot of water, make sure you are rolling and stretching after runs, keep (or start) eating healthy and allowing your body to have the fuel it needs to rebuild and grow, and most importantly REST - make sure you have set a goal for yourself about when you are getting to bed to get enough sleep and then arrange your day so that you are successful at doing it.
IF YOU HAVE PINE VIEW GEAR, WEAR IT TO PRACTICE!
Here's our schedule for the week - (a little different with the beginning of school - all practices at PVHS unless noted, am practices we will meet by the glass room/weight room, afternoon practices we will meet under the marquee at the front of the school). Afternoon practices will generally run from 3:00p - 5:00p.
Monday: am - 6:00 (Levels 2 and 3, 1 optional) / afternoon 3:00 (everyone meet in the lecture hall and then we will have a short run)
Tuesday: am - 6:15 weights and short recovery run (Levels 2 and 3, 1 optional) / afternoon 3:00 (everyone)
Wednesday: am - 6:15 easy recovery run (Level 3, 2 optional, no Level 1 or Freshman/Sophomore) / afternoon 3:00 (everyone)
Thursday: am - 6:15 weights and short recovery run (Levels 2 and 3, 1 optional) / RACE - Cedar All-Comers, CHS, Youngsters 6:30p, Girls 7:00p, Boys 7:30p (app.); Bus will leave PVHS at 5:00p - everyone MUST ride the bus to the meet, athletes may ride home with your parent after all the races are done and athlete has been signed out by parent.

Friday: am - 6:15 weights and short recovery run (Levels 2 and 3 optional, no Level 1 or Freshman) / afternoon 3:00 (everyone)
Saturday: on own or organize your own group run
Another important idea is busing and rides - every athlete must ride the bus to the meet. Athletes can ride home with a parent (must be his/her parent or guardian - not an uncle, sister, grandpa, favorite neighbor). And we ask that you don't leave until the whole team is done with all of our races and you sign out with a coach. If a parent needs to leave earlier or doesn't want to stay and watch all the races, that's okay. The athlete can ride the bus home with the team.
Weekly Challenge - Take time to reflect on where you have been in your running and where you are now and how that journey has progressed for you.
A few things to be looking forward to - please note these events and plan on attending:

Week 10 Athletes of the Week -
Team Builder - Nathan Hadley, So. Nathan is new to our team this year and has not only seen a huge increase in his performance over the summer, but has become a great team member. His energy and enthusiasm is almost as infectious as Chad's!
Tough at Practice - Adri Baker, Fr. Adri brings that Baker toughness to everything she does. Not surprisingly, she is looking to be a major contributor to the team for years to come.
Best Performance - Scottie Bushar, Jr. Scottie ran a killer time trial and "set the record" - kind of! But he did one of our team's best performances ever at the BHNP course.
Race Report -
PVXC Time Trial - On Monday we had our time trial at Bloomington Hills North Park. The 2 mile course uses the 1st and 3rd laps of the BHNP XC course. There were some strong showings on both the girls and boys side, with many athletes showing improvements upon previous years. Our top three boys were Scottie, Luke and JD. On the girls side Jessica set a new school record for the course. She was followed in the top 3 by Pyper and Emma.
Desert Relays - Friday we held a combined practice with DH for our annual Desert Relays. Both races were extremely close and decided by a 27-28 score with DH coming out on top. Our top girls team of Jessica, Alli and Emma won 1st with Jessica and Alli taking home plates. Alli set the record for Leg 2 and now holds the record for all 3 legs! For the boys, Luke ran a strong 2nd Leg to bring home the bowling pin. On both sides, our strength was our 3-5 teams. The best thing about this is the depth of our program. On our team, everyone can contribute and play a role in our success.
Youngsters Running Club - We will once again be hosting a running camp for 6th-8th Graders. Our Youngsters Club will begin on August 19th and will be held each Monday and Thursday(?) from 3:00p-4:15p at PVHS. The club focuses on developing the skills for and a love of distance running along with team building and the traits for becoming a part of a successful group. We will have more info posted as we get closer to school. For questions email Coach Holt at pineviewxc@gmail.com

Thought of the Week: "I'm strong because I've been weak. I'm fearless, because I've been afraid. I'm wise, because I've been foolish."
-RZA
You can't go wrong with words from the Wu-Tang Clan (or maybe you can! but not it this case). If "commitment" is the key to a physical growth, having a "growth mindset" is the key to a mental growth. A growth mindset means being able to look at situations and being able to grow from them - not limiting yourself because of struggles or weaknesses. Looking at this quote, we can see that the times that we've struggled are really the times that have made us strong - if we look to grow from them and use those experiences as stepping stones. To become strong, you have to grow from times you've been weak. To overcome fear and anxiety, you have to learn from times you've been afraid. To be smart, you learn from times you've been dumb! To become a better runner, you look at the things that have held you back and grow to overcome them. Remember Adri's piano recital... and find your own piano recital moment to help you become stronger, more fearless, and wiser in your running/racing and in life!
