July 19th - 24th

Great job this past week for those who logged their runs on Strava and were running on days you weren't able to make it to practice. This is a crucial time of our summer training so keep with it and it will pay off. We have cross country camp next Monday-Wednesday and we are super excited about that (Camp Info). If you haven't already turned in your permission slip and money please do so this week. If you are not able to make it to camp, we will not have practice here in town as most coaches and athletes will be there, we still want you to get some runs in on those days. LOG ON STRAVA!! 

If you are planning on running during the season with us, please go to the eligibility page and complete all the required eligibility work necessary, at least get going on your Register My Athlete. This needs to be done by the first part of August so don't wait, get going on it!

We also need to get prizes and sponsors turned in for the Phoenix 5K coming up on August 7th. We also need to start getting the word spread about our race and get your neighbors and friends to come support us in this event. You as a team member are required to bring in 5 prizes (not from your pantry) to have for prizes and awards at the race. Here is a flyer you can print and take around to your neighborhood and post on Social Media and wherever else you feel like would be a good place to spread the word. You also need to fill out a registration online and select the appropriate form stating you are on the team and will bring in 5 prizes, otherwise I will charge you to enter the race. You can scan the form below or go to this link to register: 2021 Phoenix 5k Registration

This week we will be at about 65-70% of your max mileage. If you are maxing your mileage out at 40 miles, this week you will run 26-28 miles.
