Week 3 Practice Notes

Golden Eagles --

Just a quick thank you to all of you who came on our Thursday night TEAM run. It was great to have so many of you again. The trail was a lot of fun as was the food afterwords. Thanks to those who paused to look at the falls. Thanks also to the friends of the program that came along for the run or just rode their bike or long boards. To Jensen and Bridget goes a big time high five for getting into the falls. Sorry we couldn't get you all into the pictures, but below are a few of them.

This week for practice remember that you need to start logging your mileage. Keep track of what you are doing week for week. IF you have questions about this then feel free to ask the coaches. 7:00am practice again Monday -- Wednesday and then our Thursday Night TEAM run. Also a reminder that  the weight room is open every day this week and we encourage you all to get in to the weight room at least 3 times a week. If you have questions about what program you should be doing in the weight room just ask one of the coaches or one of the TEAM captains. We know that the hard work in the weight room and the mileage you are putting into this summer will pay off in the fall when the time to race comes.
Again another push to get your friends to come and run with us. Cross Country is a lot of fun and anyone can do it. Please never think that it is too late to join our team. We love to see new faces at practice.

This Thursday night TEAM run is going to the the "Y". For this run/hike we will meet at MMHS at 6:00pm. If it is easier for you we will meet you at the "Y" trail head at 6:30pm. This is a challenging run and a fun hike. It is great to see the view from on the Mountain up where the Eagles Fly! We encourage all to come along for this great TEAM night. We will be going to the BYU Creamery afterwords for ice cream so make sure you bring some spending cash for that. Also we have been getting a lot of you asking if we are going to do a movie night again like we did last year? The answer to that one is yes. We just haven't decided if we will do it this Thursday night or next. But rest assured we will have a TEAM movie night soon for all TEAM members and other friends of the program. We will post it and announce it at practice when it will be.

Happy Running!
