September is Here

What a great week we had last week. We had some great workouts and we ran some awesome times at the meet Friday in Ogden. I was proud again to be a phoenix. Keep up the hard work and doing all the little things. I also want to let you all know that I have received some very good feedback from other teams and their parents on how nice our team is to cheer for others and how we are very classy. Thank you for being great kids. When it's time to compete we go give it our all but we can be classy while we are at meets so thank you for being great teammates to one another and for showing good sportsmanship cheering on other teams.

Thanks to the Thornton's for letting us use their home for the team dinner last week (and thanks to the Haven, Spackman, and Vasquez families).

Now one thing I would like to comment on is that of riding the buses to and from meets. I know that it's hard to miss classes for meets but we don't miss super often and we don't have that long of a season. I apologize for the change in schedule for some of you parents going to the meet Friday but sometimes that happens and they switch things up. It doesn't happen often but it's reason like that why I want all the kids on the bus so you are there ready to warm up and be ready to go for your race. If for whatever reason you aren't going to be riding the bus you NEED to tell one of us coaches. I was at the meet with a handful of bibs of kids who didn't ride the bus and none of us coaches knew if they were coming to race or not. Please communicate with us if you can't make the bus for whatever reason.

Okay enough about that, let's get to this week.

If you are out of town I would like you to get in a hard run. If you are in a hilly place, get a good hard hill run in, if you aren't next to hills, get in a 2-3 mile tempo run @30 seconds slower than goal race pace.
