Many of you might be a little low on hydration going into Monday; make sure you drink a bunch Sunday evening.
Purpose of the week's workouts - For the next 4 weeks, we go into our Pre-Competition Phase. The goal of this month is to combine our longer 8K intervals with some race pace and sub-race pace work to prep us for the important meets of October. We will also be bringing in Hill Circuits for everyone to really develop strength.
IF YOU HAVE PINE VIEW GEAR, WEAR IT TO PRACTICE!

Following Jess were Alli in 16th, Adri in 20th and 2nd Freshman, Pyper in 21st, and Brinley in 36th.

Thought of the Week: "Don't worry about being the best. Worry about being the best at getting better. Set a goal and make it a North Star to shoot for - but then focus all your energy and attention on the process. The process is the present moment. The present moment is where you live your life"
-Brad Stulberg
We've noticed this a lot in races and workouts, but we want you to think about this idea in every aspect of your life. As for running: We've been working a lot on refocusing and this quote is like another form of refocusing. Often we get discouraged when we aren't the best or doing our best (it's not that hard to notice when things aren't going very well). This discouragement leads to a chain of events that can be hard to dig out of. To break this chain, the most important thing is to realize that we do not have to be perfect; we do not have to be the best. Instead, focus on the present moment (what is happening right now) and then be determined to be getting better at that exact moment. Most of the time we can do that. And then we can do that again. And again. Then if we find a moment where we are upset as we lose that focus, refocus on getting better again and put all your energy at the present moment into getting better in the present moment.
