7/9 update

Phoenix,

I hope you all had a great week. It was nice to be back together, especially on Saturday when we were able to work with our neighbors on a long run. We're hoping to do something like that again with the idea of raising everyone's level.

The summer is moving quickly, take it one day at a time, and just keep rolling. So many of you are doing awesome. Many of our new runners are being amazingly consistent and I know it will pay off very soon - can't wait to see it. Keep after it and you will soon see the gains that you have made.

Again, if you haven't been consistent yet this summer, now is the time to start. Just take it one day at a time. Read the mileage for the day the night before, then get up and get it done. On days without practice, if you are struggling with motivation, the longer you let it fester the harder it is to get it done. Just go as soon as you can.

I mentioned last week we want to do a team movie at Kaysville Theater - that is likely going to be moved to next week. When I get the date nailed down I will send it out.

For some of the higher mileage runners, we are going to add a couple of EASY afternoon runs to get to the mileage and to heat acclimate. When the numbers say "8/3"  or something with a slash, that means AM/PM runs. The additional run in the heat is the stimulus, so it is highly important that the pace is slower and easier to allow you to fully recover. Once we're adjusted to that we can start adding things.

If you have any questions please let me know.
