Phoenix,
Hard to believe that August will be here in one day... And yet, here we are. The time has come to start upping the intensity of our workouts. After 8 weeks of base building you are ready to start the next phase, which will begin to incorporate some faster work. On Monday we will be doing some specific work on the grass and Heritage Park, so if you have cross country flats, bring them. If you don't have any, that's ok, but I recommend getting some as soon as you can. SLRC (formerly Wasatch Running) in Centerville will have some, or you can buy online. You can view the schedule for the week below, and notice that we are no longer just doing distance runs, but we'll have some more stuff mixed in there, including some light specific work and some tempo runs. I cannot wait to get going with that.
I know many of you have been in and out of town, and that is great. Again, get some running in while you are gone. Some of you have found it increasingly difficult to wake up in the morning or simply want to come run at such an hour. Please consider this your encouragement and invitation to return, no longer how many days you have missed. We need you, and our team is better with you. Region and State Championships are won, in large part, during the summer months. So let's use the last few weeks as best we can. If you have friends who have been missing, encourage them to come, offer them a ride, do whatever you can you help them give their best.
Camp Volunteers - 8/8-8/12
The camp is going to be organized by having a morning workout and/or activity and evening run and/or activity with meals on each day that we have volunteers. Times will vary depending on when people are able to host.
Parents, I have spoken with a couple of you about the possibility of hosting an activity or team meal for our camp. If you are interested in hosting something please let me know as soon as you can. If you are able and interested, just reply to me with what/when, and I will plug you in.
I don't expect to fill every day with team meals, but it just depends on how many volunteers we have. Athletes will be asked to bring $2 to each of the meals to help offset the costs and trouble of preparing the meal.
- Hosting a team breakfast or dinner (at your home or a nearby park).
- Hosting a team activity (such as pool party, playing lawn games, movie night or other activities you may have access to).
