7/2 Update

Phoenix,

I hope you have had a great week, and that you have a happy 4th of July. I look forward to seeing those of you who race in Kaysville tomorrow. If possible, let's try to get a group photo before the race.

Sorry this is a day late, it was my son's birthday yesterday so I didn't get around to this.

This week

We are back to normal practicing on Wednesday at Vita, 7 AM. This week at Vita is family day, so bring your families along to run with us, or they can walk. Parents, we'd love to have you and siblings. We talk briefly at the start and then we are on our way. 

You'll notice that the location on Friday is TBD. That is because we are going to be doing a joint long run with the Davis team on Saturday, for all who can come, and once that location is determined, I can plan accordingly for Friday. Until then, stay tuned. The long run is likely going to start near FHS, but that could change. If the long run is flat, we'll probably meet Friday near some hills, if it's hilly we'll meet Friday at a flatter area. Anyway, I'll update the group chats with those locations.

Deseret News team 10k and races

On the 24th of July they hold a Team 10k race, where teams of 4 high schoolers (3 scoring) can race for a team trophy. The top 3 teams will medals and prizes, with the top team getting a trophy sponsored by REP. 

From Talley, the race director:

"We offer a great discount to high school runners and coaches. Use the promo code "DNHS23" to keep the 10k Cost at $40 up until registration closes. You can also use the promo for $15 off the half marathon if you want to run longer or for the 5k for your beginning runners." 

You can register at at Run.Deseret.com If you want to do the team 10k I need you to tell me so I can contact the person over the high school event to make sure they have our team down. We can enter multiple teams as well. Let me know if you have questions about that.

Coming up

After this week we will be back on our regular schedule. One night in the coming weeks we are hoping to do a team movie night at Kaysville Theater. We hope to rent a theater out and watch MacFarland USA (GREAT movie). I just need to nail down the specifics with the theater.

As always, if you have any questions please let me know.
