August 20th-26th: Vista Nation 2-Mile

8/19/2018

 
Picture
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!

Gear Order Reopened Until Monday
The gear order through Denver Athletic is reopening for 24 hours to help those families that recently registered, or missed the last order. All gear is optional, but most will have a neon green T-Shirt. Please see the blog post from August 6th-12th for more info about what gear to buy.

Grocery Card Fundraiser

This is one of our few fundraisers each season, and how we are able to compensate our assistant coaches every fall. They are not funded by the school district, and the grocery card fundraiser helps us to to make sure they each receive a full stipend for the season. Please see the link below for more information, and contact Therese Fitzsimmons for a card:

MVHS Booster Club
The Booster Club is the other way we raise money for our program each season. Below is information on how to register, and a video about how the Booster Club helps our team. Please contact Jeremy and Cherise Anderson if you have questions.

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. 

Training Plans for the Week
If you are unsure which plan to follow please come talk to Coach Dalby.
