Great job Vista Nation on another great week of training in the books. We had an awesome tempo run on Tuesday, and the run to Denver was our largest ever. There were 70 athletes that took part in running their longest run of the summer on Saturday. Great work and lets keep up the momentum as we move into our first week of racing. The coaches are really proud of everybody!
I also want to thank all of the parents for their efforts last week in coming out to the parent meeting, and helping with the Run to Denver. It's no joke when the coaches say we have the best parent community in the state. We cannot do all of the things we do without your help. Thank you!

Labor Day/Saturday Practice
Our plan for Labor Day weekend is to meet for practice at 7 a.m. on Saturday morning at Redstone Park. Those that raced at the Arapahoe Invite will be doing a long run. Those that did not race will be doing a longer steady state run/rhythm run. If you are leaving town please arrange to leave with your family after practice Saturday morning. We will be finished by 9 a.m.
For Monday, check the training document to see what your run is that day and get it in on your own. Or call a teammate up and run together. We will not be meeting on Monday as a team.
