Hopefully everyone had a great first few days of school. That start up of school and transition to more afternoon runs can take a lot out of you so here are some really important tips: SLEEP SLEEP SLEEP - everyone should be striving to be asleep by 10:00 (or earlier), the body needs that recovery time; DRINK - 100 oz of water a day, just do it; start CREATING A SCHEDULE THAT WORKS FOR YOU - figure out how you are going to manage study time, family time, activity time, work, along with all your XC commitments and create a schedule that works for you, maybe you study for 20 mins after morning practice instead of wasting time in the locker room, maybe you commit to doing your piano practice right when you get home from afternoon XC, whatever works and helps you fit everything in and get to bed at a good time.

Fees will need to be paid. Everything MUST be cleared to participate. If it isn't done yet, you won't be cleared to race at Cedar and you'll be asked to stay away from practice until it is complete.
Purpose of the Week's Workouts: This week's workouts. We continue our SWEP phase this week - Speed With Endurance Process - with a focus on controlled speed of longer intervals.

Race Report:
Desert Relays - In our first race against another team, we once again did well at the Relays. It was great to have a hand-full of Youngsters come out and get the first loop in; you guys did great! The girls ran strong and were able to take home the win even though our numbers are quite a bit fewer than the DH. We had two plate winners: Brook on leg 1 and Adri on leg 3. Other notable performances were Brinley, Katie, and Amelia on leg 2, along with Kate's strong run on leg 1. Although the boys didn't come with any hardware, we still ran well and learned a few things about our team. A few of our top performers were Trey, Allen, and Diego who all put out great efforts on leg 2.

PVXC Thought of the Week:
"I am no longer being afraid of greatness! So what if I "fail"? That's not the end of it. Greatness comes from pushing your limits and strengthening your weaknesses. Why not do what it takes to be great regardless of how it feels...? I guess it's not for everyone."
-Jaylon Johnson
A pretty cool thought really. The biggest step to greatness is overcoming the fear of failure. And almost always we're our own harshest critics and are the only ones who really beat ourselves up if we "fail". Reality is, everyone else is looking at how brave we are for giving it our best shot. So if you want to truly become great, start setting aside that fear of failing and instead see how awesome it is to give it your very best shot.
