8/18 update

Phoenix,

Told you summer was going to end... and here we are... And yet, we had a really strong workout on the first day of school that really showed some of your fitness. We hit the paces, finished fast, had positive self-talk. The whole 9. It was by far our best day of the year. Let's continue to build on that. I'm really excited about where we are and where we are going.

Our first period class was awesome. We were able to get some easy miles in and had a great breakfast.

On that note, if you are hosting a breakfast, and need anything, please let me know. If you were inclined to need power, like a access to plugs, if you needed to cook anything, or keep it warm, we can make that happen.

Mileage Reporting for last week.

This week

Our second meet is upon us. It will be Saturday morning at 7:30 AM at Layton Commons park. There will not be a bus to this meet, so arrive early enough to get warmed up, and the expectation is to stay until the conclusion of the meet, which will end around 9:30 AM.

There are two distances to race at this meet, a 2 mile and a 3 mile. Our plan is to race everyone in the 3 mile except for our new or less experienced runners. If you have a preference, you may talk to the coaches about it, but if you've been at it for a while, we'll probably recommend the 3 mile.
