Farmington XC Week 3

Week 2 was a great success and we are ready for more! Thanks to all of you who have been logging your miles on Strava. If you haven't been, repent and get on it. If you don't have a Strava account yet please get on there and get logging. We can't help you if you don't let us know what you are doing. Thanks to those who are running 6 days a week as well. Remember, just because we aren't meeting every day means that it is a day off. That being said here is the schedule for the week. Notice that this Friday we are meeting in a different location.

Monday June 25th: 7 AM @ Ponds Park (North Lot)

Wednesday June 27th: 7 AM @ Vita Trail (1533 E. 650 N. Fruit Heights)

Friday June 29th: 7 AM @ Forbush Park (100 Main St, Farmington, UT 84025)

Just a heads up on what is coming up next week. We have moratorium all week for the 4th of July so we will not be having practice at all. You should still plan on running every day and it would be good to find a 5k somewhere and go race. Keep taking care of yourselves (drinking water, stretching, getting sleep). 

Also I added a "Follow By Email" Gadget at the bottom so if you would like to get an email each time a new post is added to the blog just drop your email in the box and hit submit.

Well, the first week is in the books. We had great turnouts and were excited to see all of you there. Thanks to those who have paid their $40. If you haven't paid, please do so (either go to the main office at the school or call Sue Spencer). For week 2 here is the schedule (same as last week):

Wednesday June 20th: 7 AM @ Vita Trail (1533 E. 650 N. Fruit Heights)

Friday June 22nd: 7 AM @ Ponds Park (North Lot)

Also a few friendly reminders:
*Log your runs on Strava (if you don't have an account, make one)
*Drink lots of water
*Run 6 days this week (not just the 3 days we meet)
*Run with a buddy (especially on Vita - we don't want people getting lost and remember trail etiquette)
Last and most important HAVE FUN!

Thanks guys let's have another great week.

Farmington XC is HERE!!!!

Hey Farmington Phoenix!!

It is that time of year so let's get started and build the best XC program here at Farmington High. Throughout the summer we will meet as a team on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. Now just because we don't meet on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays doesn't mean you shouldn't run those days... because you should. We want to build a great base this summer so when the season starts we are ready to go. If you want to be great during the season you have to put in some miles this summer. Having said that here is the schedule for our first week of practice:

Summer Training Week 1
Monday June 11th: 7 AM @ Ponds Park (North Lot)

Wednesday June 13th: 7 AM @ Vita Trail (1533 E. 650 N. Fruit Heights)

Friday June 15th: 7 AM @ Ponds Park (North Lot)


The summer training is only $40 per athlete (8th and 9th graders are welcome). You can go directly to the school and pay the head secretary (Sue Spencer) or you can call and pay over the phone. Her number is 801-402-9054. Just make sure to let her know it is for XC and who the student athlete is. If you need to email her send it to: Sspencer@dsdmail.com

One last thing, if you are needing a new pair of shoes or spikes, all Farmington High athletes will get a 15% discount on running shoes and a 20% discount on spikes when you go to Wasatch Running Center in Centerville. Just let them know you run for Farmington and they will hook you up with some sweet discounts.
