Phoenix Nation!!!
What a great week we had. We had a tough week with two races and a hard workout on Monday and we still ran very well on Friday. The hard work you are putting forth is starting to show and we are only seeing a glimpse of it all (we haven't even done much speed work and we aren't tapering so when we put those things out there we will really kill it). We have to keep up the good work by doing all the little things (sleep, hydration, nutrition, going to practice, logging on Strava etc). Big thanks to the Neuenschwanders for letting us do our team dinner at their house and thanks to everyone who helped with it as well (Bowcut, Taylor, Peterson, Hildreth families).
This week we have a good solid week of training and the Weber State invite at El Monte Golf Course. Please pay attention to the times for practices and the meet. We also have a team dinner at the Thornton home on Thursday.

School is HERE!!!
Phoenix nation.....
Great first meet at Highland on Friday. I thought we had a great first meet with a good showing and hopefully things we learned. If you haven't already, reflect back on Friday to your race and I want you to think of things you thought you did well and things you could have improved (water intake before, sleep, going out too fast, not fast enough etc.). Those of you who missed the race, we missed you but we have a busy week coming up.
Hopefully you all had fun at the team dinner last week. A big Thanks to all who helped with the team dinner (Mitchell, Mietus, DiReda, Wall, & Martineau Families). This week's team dinner will be at the Neuenschwander home (707 W. Pegasus Drive - Kaysville) @ 6 PM. Bring $3! If you haven't signed up yet to help out but would still like to go HERE and find an open slot to help out. Thanks!
This week is going to be busy with school starting and the fact that we have 2 meets the same week (this is the only time we will have 2 in one week). So please make sure you are staying hydrated and are getting some good sleep. Here is the schedule:
Monday August 20th: 3:10 PM @ Farmington High School @ the track
Tuesday August 21st: 3:15 PM @ Barnes Park (950 W 200 N - Kaysville)
Spike Night @ Wasatch Running Center (Centerville). Come in to Wasatch running any time today to get a discount. The actual "Spike Night" will run from 6 PM-8 PM on Tuesday night. If you need spikes and you pay in cash you will receive a 20% discount (if you pay in cash you can actually get 20% off anything in the store). If you don't pay in cash but pay with a card you can still get 20% but you will need to buy a pair of running shoes and spikes. This is optional but a great opportunity if you would like some racing spikes. Thanks!!

First Race Week
THANK YOU to everyone who helped out with the Phoenix 5k yesterday. It was a big success and that was only made possible to all of you guys who got prizes, sponsors, and helped set up/take down and run the meet. I would say with it being our first year it went pretty awesome. So thank you to everyone who helped (athletes and parents).
This week is our first race (Friday) so we have another busy week coming up. Please make sure you are eating well, sleeping, hydrating, stretching, logging run on Strava and coming to practice. All the little things make a big difference so don't neglect to do them just because they are small. Having said that, here is the schedule for the week (please pay attention to the times as we will be meeting at different times than usual):
Monday August 13th: Time Trials @ 7 PM @ Farmington High School - We will have a brief parent meeting at 7 pm. Following the parent meeting we will do a 2 mile race on the track. Girls will go first, then the boys. This race will determine our varsity for our first meet. Families are welcome to come and watch. Following the conclusion of our time trials we will watch a movie on the track on a projector (bring a camping chair to sit in if you'd like to avoid sitting on the track). We will also be doing a pot luck treat night so if you want to help bring a snack/fruit/veggie tray or whatever feel free to do so. Thanks!
Tuesday August 14th: 4 PM @ Forbush Park (Across from Farmington Jr)
Wednesday August 15th: 4 PM @ Nicholls Park (Castle Park in Kaysville/Fruit Heights)
Thursday August 16th: 3 PM @ Heritage Park (North of Maverik)
Team Dinner @ 5:30 PM @ Martineau Home (564 Saddleback Circle, Kaysville)
Please bring $3 for dinner
Friday August 17th: First Meet @ Highland - Bus will Leave the school at 12:20 PM
Meet Schedule:
Frosh Boys - 2:00 pm
Frosh Girls - 2:25 pm
Soph Boys - 2:50 pm
Soph Girls - 3:15 pm Course Map

JV Girls - 4:15 pm
Varsity Boys - 4:45 pm

**Please plan on staying for the whole meet to cheer on our team.
Saturday August 18th: 7 AM @ Glovers Park (West of the High School)
Thanks again for all you guys do. We are going to have a blast this season and turn some heads while doing it. I know I have been harping on eligibility but if you want to race this Friday I need all of your eligibility stuff by tomorrow night so I can get you cleared to race Friday. Our uniforms should be in early this week so we will be passing those out probably Wednesday or Thursday (for those who are eligible and have paid for their uniform).
Last thing, we still have some openings for help with team dinners so if you are interested in helping out. Click THIS LINK to sign up for a day to help out. If you have any questions or concerns regarding this please contact Marcia Mitchell: (801) 455-8478 marciammitchell@gmail.com

Phoenix 5k Week
Hey Phoenix Nation!!
This is a big week for us for many reasons. 1. It's our Phoenix 5k fundraiser. 2. Your eligibility is due. 3. It's our last full training week before our first race. Here is the skinny on these three things:
1. Phoenix 5k. I have only had about 5 people bring me their prizes so far. Please get out and collect your 5 prizes for the race this Saturday. Bring them to practice so we can organize them before the race Saturday. We've already hit up Subway, Waffled, Wasatch Running, Arbys, and Dollar Cuts. So let's avoid going to those places as they have already donated to our cause. Also please spread the word to your family/friends/community to come support us Saturday. If you don't get your prizes, I will charge you to race on Saturday.
I also need some parent help with a few things the day of the race so if you are willing to help us out and don't mind not running, please email me and let me know you're interested in helping Saturday and I will give you an assignment: cbrower@dsdmail.net. Thanks!!
2. Eligibility. This was suppose to be turned in last week and I only have 12 of you who have done everything and are eligible to race!! Please don't procrastinate this or you won't be running with us. Please go to the eligibility page and complete each step listed there. I need hard copies of physicals and receipts of fees ($140 - participation/transportation/uniform). I need this done ASAP!!
3. This week we will meet every day. We can't be missing days of running because it is seriously crunch time. Log your runs to Strava, stretch, roll out, stay hydrated and stay caught up with your sleep (8-9 hours a night). It's the little things that make a big difference. Here is the schedule for the week:
Monday August 6th: 7 AM @ Skater Park (1384 S Frontage Rd, Farmington)
Tuesday August 7th: 7 AM - Farmington Park (294 S 650 W, Farmington) - Just North of the school
***Wednesday August 8th: 7 AM ***Girls will meet @ Ponds Park *** Boys will meet @ Heritage Park (Farmington) - North of Maverik
Thursday August 9th: 7 AM @ Freedom Hills Park (2150 N 150 E, Centerville)
Friday August 10th: 7 AM - Farmington High School (East of the track - Drivers ed range)
Saturday August 11h: Be there at 6:15 AM - Race @ 7 AM - Farmington High School
One last thing, we would like to get planning some team dinners (on the days before our races) and would like to ask for your help in hosting and providing the meals for these. Marcia Mitchell has graciously accepted to take on organizing these. If you are interested in helping out click this link and fill out your information on the dates you would be interested in helping out and she will be in touch with you.
Thanks for your support. We are excited for the season!! Let's have a great week!
