REGISTERMYATHLETE MUST BE COMPLETE TO COME TO PRACTICE THIS WEEK! PHYSICAL MUST BE COMPLETE BY FRIDAY TO COME TO CAMP!
Another solid week down culminating with a great run-a-thon. Congrats to the black team who ran 95 1/2 miles; just edging out the Maroon team who had 94 3/4 miles. Thanks to the committee and captains for putting it all together, thanks for everyone coming and participating, and thanks for the parents who brought treats to help us stay cool! If you have sponsors, bring your paperwork to practice ASAP. And if you still want to get sponsors, go for it! Talk to Coach Holt about the money you collected and where you can use it. Our next big activity will be High Altitude Camp (and it is coming up quick so please make sure you read about it below and help get all the things done that we need to through this week).Purpose of the Week's Workouts: This week's workouts will have a long run, some hill work, and (back by popular demand) a 15min test to gauge our progress so far and help us get times for our next set of workouts as we move toward longer Critical Velocity (CV) intervals.
This Week's Schedule:
We will meet this week Mon, Tues, Thurs, and Friday at Washington Elementary at the usual 7:00a. Our long run will be Wednesday... for this we will meet at the Southern Parkway Exit for Warner Valley at 6:30a. We'll get a nice dirt road to cruise on and a little bit cooler temps by meeting earlier. On Saturday, those who would like, will travel to Pine Valley for a run with Snow Canyon HS. Time and meeting place will be announced. But we will need some people to drive (it would be great if we had a few parents who would like to drive - come up, run with us - or just enjoy the cool mountain morning - and then bring us back down. Please let us know by replying to the Remind text if you can.
Weekly Challenge:
Still amazed at how many of us don't know our teammates... this week, get to know everyone on the team's names.
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:
Tuesday after morning practice. Please plan on sticking around and participating. We have just a couple chapters left...

Youth Summer Running Club Challenge #7:
This week our challenge is not going to be a running challenge, but we encourage you to keep going out and getting a run in a few time this week. A big part of a healthy life is what you eat and drink. To keep healthy, it is important to eat a lot of fruits and vegetables and limit the sugary treats you eat. It is also very good for your body to drink a lot of water and limit your sugary drinks like soda. Your Challenge #7 is to write down all the food and drink you have for one day this week, then look at it with a parent and talk about how you are doing. When you talk with your parent, you might see that you did very well and had only a little bit of snacks and ate and drank pretty healthy. Or maybe you see that you had more treats than you should. After looking at how you did, see if there are areas you can improve to keep yourself healthy.
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:
"Usually, injuries and illnesses occur when we are lost in time and least capable of being in the moment. Perhaps injuries, illnesses, and failures are sometimes our bodies' way of telling us that it's time to refocus our attention."
