Cross Country Week 2 Practice Notes

Golden Eagles --
What a great first week. It was so amazing to see so many of you out to practice. You all continue to impress us as coaches with your dedication to our TEAM and to our program. Thank You! Thank you to all of you who have started this season with us. It is never to late to join our TEAM. We want all of you to come and be a part of our TEAM. Just like so many things in life cross country is more fun when your friends are involved. Thank you to all of you who came to our first Thursday night TEAM run. We had more people on that night run than we did all last season. Thank you for helping our TEAM soar to new heights. It was a great run, good food, and fun ultimate Frisbee play. Thanks to all who made this possible and to our football friends and "friends of the program" who helped finish off the food. It was a great way to start the season.

Now this week because of the 4th of July Holiday we will not be having formal practice on Monday July 5th. (Good luck to all of you who are running in the freedom run) However we will have practice as normal for the rest of the week 7:00am at track. The weight room is also open on these days and thanks to all of you who have been lifting it will payoff. If you haven't been in the weight room we encourage you to start now.

This weeks Thursday night TEAM run will be one of two choices that we will decide on at practice. (It will be posted on the blog when decided) Choice #1 is the "Y" mountain run/ hike followed by a trip to the BYU Creamery. (Yummm Lavells Vanilla Ice Cream) Or choice #2 is the Provo Canyon River Trail (Bridal Vail Falls) Run followed by our invasion of Bajio & The Rocky Mtn. Chocolate Factory. If we choose #2 than we will meet at MMHS at 5:30pm to carpool and caravan, if we choose #1 than we will meet at MMHS at 6:00pm to carpool and caravan.

Thank you and Happy Running!
