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!
