Oct. 23-28 (Week 21)

Excited for State this week! Here's the itinerary for those that need it. Those that are wanting to run at JV State, you need to get your form and $8 to Coach real soon. And finally, we do have a few more spots for Nike, so if you have some last minutes thoughts, turn your slip in for that and everyone needs to get their $100 deposit in.

Paperwork about the post-season races: here it is. Please take a look at the dates and info on it and have it back soon.

Parents and friends coming to State, make sure you check out the previous post about parking and admission. This needs to be prepaid.

Purpose of the Week's Workouts: Click here for this week's workouts. We'll be hitting a Pre-Race workout at 6:15a tomorrow for Varsity and anyone else who wants a little workout this week. We will have a short run up at the hotel tomorrow and then on Tuesday morning. The rest of the week, we will back off a bit with singles and most mornings off (except Fri - we will meet at 6:15a). Hopefully the end of the week can be a little refresher after a long season. Then we can refocus for a strong set of post-season workouts and races.

Minutes: If you want to update your Minutes for awards at the end of the year go and do that for last week and any other week you might want to.

PVXC Thought of the Week: 
"What if it all works out?"
-Melanie Robbins
What if we all spent as much time and energy thinking about the good things that could happen when we absolutely go for something instead of using so much energy being worried about what bad things could happen? Every time a worry comes to your head about "What if (something negative)...?" I challenge you to switch the thinking to "What if it all works out?" Why shouldn't it all work out? You've done the work; you deserve it as much as anyone else!
