Our banquet will be held Thursday at 5:30p in the PVHS Commons (lunch room area). This is an event to recognize our awesome team. Families are definitely invited (and encouraged) to come. Parents, could you please sign up to bring some food to help out.
Those going to Nike, here is our itinerary. The cost of hotels and transportation drove our cost up a bit; however, with a little help from a donor, we are able to keep the cost at $160. Could you please finish your payment early this week.

Especially during the first week - don't do anything. During the second week start doing some biking, swimming, whatever (if you want) - but no running. We want you to really want to get going again. Enjoy the mental and physical break and be ready to start our rebuild right before and during Christmas break. First day back - 12/18 3:00p out at the track.

PVXC Thought of the Week:
"The day you plant the seed is not the day you eat the fruit."
-Patricia Leavy
Maybe this is more of a beginning of the season quote, but I actually kind of like it here at the end of a season. It is a good reminder of what we have been doing for months (and for many of you, years). Each day, each drill, each run, every time you wake up early for a run and it is hot or cold or rainy, every team activity you go be a part of, each time you reach out to a teammate and tell them they did a good job or that you missed them at practice, or all the many, many other things we do in this program... every one of those times you are planting seeds, watering them, taking care of the ground, then pruning and all that other farm stuff. And then, eventually, the time will come to eat the fruit. Hopefully at some point in this season, you've been able to see some of the rewards of all your hard work. And also, hopefully, you've grown through some of the positive experiences (and even the difficult ones) in a way that will help you continue to work on "planting the seed" in the future and we can all connect this season to the many more season to come - in running and life.
