We are getting close to the "real" season. Each week, we gain a few more teammates coming out for conditioning. Just remember, the time to put in the work is now. Getting in shape now leads to fast running, big throws, and great jumps in the season.
Schedule for the Week:
Distance Crew: Mon-Fri at PVHS; Monday - Thursday - regular practice schedule 3:00p, Tues & Thurs am - 6:15a weights and short run, Friday - 6:15a (everyone), 12:45p (No Fresh or Maroon Level), Saturday - group run at 8:00 (location TBA) - this week's workouts
Thought of the Week: "Friendly reminder: getting in shape is hard, being in shape is awesome. Commit to it."

Participation Fee/Register My Athlete/Physical: Please get your registration done! Registermyathlete is super easy and only takes a few minutes to do if you have your physical on file. If you don't have a physical from this year yet, you can still do the registermyathlete just also get your physical scheduled and taken care of ASAP. If you participated in track last year and haven't transferred your fees to another sport (like track last year to XC this year), you will be able to do that for this coming track season (track last year to track this year).

-Des Linden
A Boston Marathon champ and Olympian, Desiree Linden hits a pretty important idea out there with this quote (especially at the beginning of the season when it is hard to get in shape). When you are wondering if it is worth it to put all the hard work in to get into shape, remember how great it feels to be your best self as a powerful athlete. Most of us can probably think of a time when we've felt this. I personally don't know feeling of taking off and flying through the air with a 20+ foot long jump, but I do know the feeling of tearing up the track to an huge PR in the 800, the burn and pain negated by the overwhelming joy of being able to go faster than anyone ever thought you possibly could. Being in shape IS awesome!
