7/20 Update

Phoenix,

I hope you all had a great middle of July week. We are seriously coming down to it, so again, I implore you, to dominate this month. 

We're super hyped with the progress you've been making, we have had a lot of consistency from many of you, and we trust that you are making an effort to stay consistent even while out of town. Keep dominating July, and you'll be happy about your progress at our first race is less than one month.  This week is one of our last standard weeks, as August is right around the corner, so let's dominate it. 

I know some of you have signed up for the Deseret News races (and if you want to be part of a team I need to know the 3-4 names of your team, so send them to me toute de suite). We won't be tapering for that race, so just power through it with your mileage. We're looking to October to be performing our best, not July 24th, so keep that in mind. 

Speaking of increasing our mileage, this Wednesday at Vita, for anyone who has been running with us for more than 1 year, we're all doing "full vita" (about 7 miles - any first year runners can do the full thing or not, depending on where your training is). I think Shylie is getting tired of running back with me and the other coaches so we're making it a full group, full vita. 

Here is the schedule for this week:
