Hey Phoenix!
This week is camp week and I want to make sure everyone who is going knows what they need to do. Again, camp is optional, but if you do want to go, print off the form found HERE and fill it out. Bring that form signed by your parents with your money to camp tomorrow morning. We will collect those forms and money as you arrive. So if you were on the fence about it and still want to go you can still come. Please make sure to pack everything you will need for the over night camp (running stuff, sleeping bag, pillow, tent - or tent arrangements). If you are going to camp, I will see you in the morning (again you need your own ride to camp and from camp - pickup will be in Logan - not where you were dropped off so plan accordingly).
If you aren't going to camp, we will do an unofficial practice Monday morning for those that would like to meet up to run with others. Make sure to get some runs in Monday and Tuesday and we will resume practice as usual on Wednesday. Here is the schedule for the week:
Monday July 30th: 7 AM @ Ponds Park (North Lot) - For those who aren't going to camp but would like to meet up with others to run. I will not be there so show up, wait for a few minutes and go for a 4-5 mile run.
Tuesday July 31st: 6 PM - 9 PM Farmington High School - Physical night at the high school. If you need a physical, please come during this time and get your physical done for only $25. Way easy to crank it out. It will be good for the entire school year.
Wednesday August 1st: 7AM @ Heritage Park (1591 N 1075 W, Farmington)
Friday August 3rd: 7AM @ Forbush Park (100 Main St, Farmington)
Saturday August 4th: 7AM @ Glovers Park (1100 W Glovers Ln, Farmington)
A few more reminders. First, take care of your eligibility stuff. We need to get on this so if you need a physical come on Tuesday, and make sure to complete all the steps on the eligibility page. Second, please get your prizes collected if you haven't already. You can start bringing those to practice with you and giving them to me so I can start to organize the prizes in preparation for our race. Please get on this to help make our race a fun one. Third, I have worked out a way with our t-shirt guy to give us more time to get more sponsors for our race. If you haven't gotten sponsors yet, you still have time. We can still get their name or logo on our shirts up until the end of this week so please have your logos to me by Friday August 3rd to make sure their logo is on our shirts. Thanks for all you guys do. The season is fast approaching and we need to get serious. Keep up the good work.

Nearing the End of July
Hey Phoenix!!
We are here to the last full week of July. The season is quickly approaching so we need to get serious about our training and making a big effort to be at practice as much as possible. Also you need to get on your sponsors and prizes for the fun run. If you have any sponsors donating over $200 we need to get their logos so we can put it on our shirts. Please send me their logos by Wednesday July 25th to make sure they get it on our shirts (cbrower@dsdmail.net).
Other news, we are planning on a cross country camp on July 30th-31st up in the Wellsville mountains. I know this is last minute and it is not mandatory to go but if you are interested in going you will need to find your own ride to and from camp. Here is the link to the information on camp. In the link is the form you need to print and bring with you to camp. The cost is $50 and it covers meals, t-shirt, and swimming. All the details are in the link so make sure to look at that. I will try to get a count on Monday so I know roughly how many to plan on so talk to your parents, check your calendars and let me know if you are interested in going.
Alright here is the schedule for practice this week:
Monday July 23rd: 7 AM @ Glovers Park (1100 W Glovers Ln, Farmington - Just West of the school)
Wednesday July 25th: 7 AM @ Nicholls Park (1105 Nicholls Rd, Fruit Heights)
Friday July 27th: 7AM @ Ponds Park (North Lot)
We won't have practice on Tuesday due to the holiday but make sure to get out and run. REMEMBER TO LOG YOUR RUNS ON STRAVA PLEASE!!!

Sponsor Update
Hey guys,
So here is the skinny with sponsors. If you have sponsors that would like to donate and are donating an amount smaller than $250, then you can take your check (made out to "Farmington High School Cross Country") to the school and give it to Susan Spencer (head secretary) and you can get a "receipt" to give back to sponsors for their records. If they are donating an amount of $250 or more, then bring the check to Susan Spencer and we will send it to the Davis Foundation where sponsors will get an official thank you and receipt. Also, if a company is donating over $200 then ask them for a logo of their company and we will get it on the back of our race shirt.
They can email me their logos at: cbrower@dsdmail.net
I need their logos by the 26th of JULY to make sure they get it on the shirt.
Also, make sure to tell me how much money (from sponsors) you brought in, then I will make sure you get 50% of it back to help you pay for fees/gear.
Thanks for all of your help, guys. I couldn't do any of this without you and your support!
GO PHOENIX!!

Week of July 16th-21st
We had another great week of training last week and had some great performances at the Farmington Days races on Saturday. Thank you to those who are logging your runs daily on Strava and who have their waiver signed, fees paid and who have started on our fundraiser (Phoenix 5k). If you haven't been to practice we are asking that each of you get prizes and sponsors to help donate to our fun run on August 11th. Specifics are posted on the "Phoenix 5k" page. I will be getting info on receipts and tax information for sponsors so check the blog later this week to find more info on that.
With another week having come and gone we are another week closer to our season. We are about a month away from our first race. We need to be serious about our training and get started on our eligibility. If you haven't already please go to the "Eligibility" page and make sure you complete those steps as outlined. I need to have all of that completed and turned in to me for you to be eligible to race on the 17th of August. I need to have this in by August 3rd. For those that need to get a physical and can't get one scheduled before the season starts, the school is hosting a physical night for all Farmington athletes. On July 31st from 6-9 PM at the high school for only $25 you can get a physical done that will cover you for the year. All the money will go to the school and most of the time it's cheaper than another visit to your regular doctor. Take advantage of this great opportunity if you need to get a physical.
Alright, enough talk. Here is the schedule for the week:
Monday July 16th: 7 AM @ Heritage Park (1591 N 1075 W, Farmington)
Tuesday July 17th: 7 AM @ Farmington Ranches Park (136 W Ironside Way, Farmington)
Wednesday July 18th: 7 AM @ Vita Trail (1533 E. 650 N. Fruit Heights)
Friday July 20th: 7 AM @ Forbush Park (100 Main St, Farmington)
Let's have a great week Phoenix!!

Back at it!!
Hey Farmington XC!!
I hope you had a great 4th of July and hopefully you all ran every day. A lot of you are still not posting your runs to Strava. Please fix that and LOG YOUR RUNS! It isn't that hard. We are getting closer to the season and we can't be slacking off. Before we know it it'll be season and we don't have time to build a base once the season starts. We are just over a month away from our first invitational (August 17th) so we need to get serious. Thanks to those who are running and logging on Strava.
This week we are going to be meeting an extra day so if you can make it we'd love to see you there. We are also going to change some locations a little bit so please pay attention to the following schedule:
Monday July 9th: 7 AM @ New Farmington Park Behind Farmington Gymnasium (294 S 650 W, Farmington) - It's on the West side of the road - Just North of the high school.
Tuesday July 10th: 7 AM @ Skater Park (1384 S Frontage Rd, Farmington)
Wednesday July 11th: 7 AM @ Vita Trail (1533 E. 650 N. Fruit Heights)
Friday July 13th: 7 AM @ Ponds Park
One thing I do want to bring to your attention is our Phoenix 5k - Fundraiser that we have coming up on August 11th. We need everyone to help to make this a great event. Please go to the Phoenix 5k -Fundraiser page for more information on that and to know what you need to do to help out.
Also if you haven't turned in your waiver for summer xc please get that in to me. I will have more at practices this week if you haven't gotten one yet. There are also some of you who haven't paid your $40 to the school so please get that taken care of this week. Let's have a great week!!

Moratorium Week
This week we have moratorium all week which means we cannot have an organized practice together. This doesn't mean that you should take the week off and do nothing. You should still run 6 days this week and keep increasing your mileage. We've been training for 3 weeks now and we should slowly work our miles up about 5-10% a week (Example if I ran 20 miles last week I should increase my mileage to about 22 this week). Feel free to message other runners on the team and meet up to do group runs if you would like to, it's always easier to run with people.
This past Friday we had a team time trial for those who were there and it went very well. I am looking forward to seeing the progress we make as a team. Now we have a little bit of a reference point as to where we are at and can see our progress throughout the summer and into the season. We had a little breakfast afterwards and plan to do a bigger pancake breakfast in the future. There was some issues reserving the pavillion at Forbush park so we will make sure that isn't an issue in the future so we can have some awesome breakfasts.
This week is the 4th of July and as such there are a lot of 5k races out there that would be great to register and race. Please upload your runs onto Strava. Some of you do a really good job with that and some of you need to work on that so please upload all of your runs on Strava. Last thing, thank you to the 42 of you who have paid your $40 summer fee. If you haven't done so please go to the main office at Farmington High school or you can call Sue Spencer (head secretary) on the phone and take care of it that way. Thanks.
Let's have another great week of training and happy 4th of July on Wednesday. I will see you all on Monday the 9th.
