Thanks everyone for getting your registration and physicals done. Those who haven't yet, please do. Somehow we only have a few weeks left of summer. But it has been a great one. As we head toward the end of summer, it is a great time to assess how you've been doing with all the things that contribute to your progress.Purpose of the Week's Workouts: This week's workouts will we will see a slight increase in our minutes (mostly from an added 3rd afternoon run for Levels 2-4). We will also have a couple workouts, including introducing some Critical Velocity (CV) intervals.
This Week's Schedule:
We will meet this week Monday through Thursday at Washington Elementary at the usual 7:00a. On Friday, we will be holding our 2nd Annual 24th of July 2 Mile Race. The team will meet at 6:30a at the Harvest Lane Neighborhood Park for warm ups and then we will race at 7:30a. Family and friends can join us to run, bike, whatever, for our 7:30 start. We will ask that anyone who comes has been healthy with no temp spikes or other signs of sickness and that we all practice good social distancing. Saturday will be a run on your own or organize your own group run.

- take a look at the 2020 schedule and start making some plans - we are still in a little flux with some of the meets.
Upcoming Events (CAMP INFO):
High Altitude Camp: July 27th-30th at Pine Lake, near Bryce Canyon. Please keep healthy, wear masks, and try and limit exposure so we can hold our camp. We leave on Monday and camp at a national forest campground 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.
- Rides: Thanks to all those that have volunteered to drive (up to camp on Monday: Baker, Boyer)(back on Thursday: Boyer, Kenworthy, Hanza, West) and a couple others that are probable (Jones, Wilson). We still need a few more rides - enough seats for about 10 athletes up and 8 back. We have to get rides solidified very soon, so 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.

Hopefully you took the chance to look at your eating/drinking for a day this last week and were able to see what you're doing well on and where you could do a little better.

PVXC Thought of the Week:
"Recalling the historic week now, I am struck by how intensely grounded I was in the moment. There was no past, no future, only the present."
-Shawn Green
In this week's section, you are going to read about one of the greatest hitting feats in baseball history. For me it was awesome because I am a huge Dodgers fan and remember when all this happened and how truly historic it was. As a coach, and having our team read this book, this section is the fruits of all the ups and downs, the mental and physical workouts, and everything else all coming together - just like what can happen for us when we put the lessons of the book to practice in our lives. SO TAKE A FEW MINUTES OVER THE NEXT COUPLE DAYS AND READ OUR SECTION THIS WEEK... It is a good one!
