Purpose of the Week's Workouts: This week's workouts will be a recovery week. Our minutes will drop just a little bit, and although we will still have a couple workouts, the overall intesity of the week will be down a little. Use this time to focus on letting yourself physically and mentally recover a bit. Look back at last week's ideas of sleep, post-run recovery of ice and rolling, and yoga and see if you can improve a bit on each of them.
This Week's Schedule:
We'll keep having practice at Washington Elementary Monday through Thursday this week at 7:00a. Our Friday location will be announced later in the week. Saturday run on your own or make your own group run.
Weekly Challenge:
Let's keep a focus on recovery... Last week we shared our yoga routine. This week, take 20 minutes to do yoga at least once. Use the time to help yourself get connected more to your body and mind.
Minutes:
Please use this form and update your minutes and set a goal for yourself for this coming week (the more specific the goal the better) - and catch up any weeks you might have missed. This is how we will earn our minutes awards for the season.
Book Club:
This week will be kind of a catch up week for our book. So get any sections you need to and read through them and we'll get back to our discussion next week.
Other Stuff:
If you haven't done these things yet, please do:

- PHYSICAL AND REGISTERMYATHLETE MUST to be complete by July 17th to be able to go to camp!
- if you haven't looked at the Parent/Athlete Meeting slides, please do - this is in place of our Parent Meeting we usually have.
- take a look at the 2020 schedule and start making some plans - we are still in a little flux with some of the meets - WE WILL PROBABLY BE CHANGING THE MEET TO WEBER (they have changed the date, and I don't think we'll be able to attend).
Upcoming Events:
- McFarland Presentation: Monday at 1:30-3:00 or 3:30-5:00. For those that have preregistered and paid. YOU MUST WEAR A MASK. Please plan on arriving a few minutes early to Desert Hills HS for check in.
- Run-a-thon: date TBA, but coming up soon. We will follow the format we implemented last year of a 12 hour relay from 10:00a ('ish) to 10:00p ('ish) at Sullivan Park. Each athlete will have 2 two hour blocks and the final dash-for-cash hour assigned to attend. We will have pizza for dinner and treats and activities throughout the day. This is a great team building activity and also an opportunity to raise some money to help cover any of your XC costs.
- High Altitude Camp: July 27th-30th at Deer Haven Campground on Cedar Mountain. We are still planning on camp for now. (Please keep healthy, wear masks, and try and limit exposure so we can hold our camp.) Cost for camp is $90 (don't pay yet). We leave on Monday and camp at a national forest campground on Cedar Mountain and return on Thursday. At camp, we work on team building, run, have classes, do a ton of fun activities, and all sorts of stuff. We want everyone to attend. To do this, we will need to stay healthy and make some plans for rides and chaperones. Parents who may be able to drive up on Monday (around noon) and/or back on Thursday (around 10a), and any parents who may want to stay at camp for any/all of the time, please contact Coach Holt (via remind text or email david.holt@washk12.org) asap. Athletes, we need an initial count for planning purposes Monday at practice, so please discuss this with parents and see where you stand (as well as your t-shirt size).
Youth Summer Running Club Challenge #5:
In a usual summer, this is our off week of running club. So this week, we are going to take advantage of the time to try and get you some of your miles toward your summer marathon. Your Challenge #5 is to run longer than you have all summer. If you've run for 1 mile, try and run 1 1/2 miles; if you've run for 10 minutes, try and run for more. Get some extra miles in and work toward getting 26 in for the summer.
Remember, we are doing this in place of our usual summer club. If you are able to do 8 of our 10 weekly challenges you will earn a special award. And if you complete your summer marathon of 26.2 miles, you'll earn your certificate. So use the links below to keep track of your progress and keep up the good work!

PVXC Thought of the Week:
"It made me a better player. It's helped to make me a better person, not think about what you should or shouldn't have done. Just take this moment in from of you. Focus on that."
