Week of Sept. 30-Oct. 5 (Week 18)

We've made it through the hardest weeks on our workout calendars! Add Homecoming, and school work, and just everything else in life, and it's been a draining few weeks. But everyone is doing so well. Now is a great time to refocus on goals and the things that help us individually and as a team reach those goals and to get doing them.

Purpose of the week's workouts - We now enter our Competition Phase. This week we will see a significant cut in minutes - we want to help you freshen up those legs and that mind a little. But, we still have plenty of work to do, so the workouts need to be crisp and on point. To help us accomplish this, let's try our very best to make sure we are healthy and rested. Get sleep, keep hydrated, and eliminate extra stress by keeping up on school work and studying (instead of trying to cram everything in). 

IF YOU HAVE PINE VIEW GEAR, WEAR IT TO PRACTICE!
and remember bright or white in the mornings is required

Race Report -

Canyon View Invite - Sitting our varsity gave some of our JV athletes an opportunity to step us and race very well this week. In the Var Boys race our top five were all Frosh/Sophs. Gabe was our top finisher placing 12th overall, followed by Trey, Bentley, Keaton, and Kenny. Jenna led the Var girls with a 17th place finish. Rounding out our scoring were Kyanne, Addie T., Allison, and Emma.  Elijah ran a strong race to pace our JV squad. He was followed by Nic who continues to see big improvements, Carter, Ethan, and Nathan. Both boys squads placed 5th. Our JV girls were led by Macy and Sadie who finished with nearly identical times. Then Madeline, Adelin, and Hannah all ran well to round out the scoring. Both girls teams finished 4th. In the Youth races, both Talmage and AJ finished in the top 10 with Liam right behind in 12th. The girls had enough entries to score as a team - taking 3rd overall with a finishing order of Kate, Summer, Brianna, Laney, Andi, and Brecken.

Youngsters Running Club - We are still open for any 6th-8th graders to join us. Practice is Monday and Thursday at 3:00 at PVHS. For questions email Coach Holt at pineviewxc@gmail.com. Youngsters race this Friday at Cedar at 3:00. Cost will be announced soon (thinking $2-$3). We have to preregister, so please let Coach Bethany know on Monday if you are planning on attending.

Alumni Report - Josie raced for SUU at Roy Griak in Minnesota this past weekend. She continues to improve and impress. She finished 42nd scorer in the women's gold race and 6th scorer right next to her 5th and 7th place teammates for SUU.

Thought of the Week: "Everyone is born with a growth mindset. A toddler learning to walk keeps getting up after falling down. It's not about developing a growth mindset. It's simply remembering you always had it."
-Jon Gordon
We always talk about the Growth Mindset and how important it is to develop one. This quote, however, really hits it on the head - we've all always had a growth mindset in us somewhere. Over time, unfortunately, various things/people in life try to beat that out of us. Remember, it that growth mindset is in there somewhere. We all just need to tap into an experience where we have used it before to help remind us that we have it and have used it and can use it again.
A challenge for this evening... think of a time where you used a growth mindset to help you overcome a challenge or accomplish something that required continued improvement and come to team meeting Monday ready to talk about it.
