A really amazing TEAM performance this past weekend in Arizona! Not only did we qualify 2 teams for nationals, but also took 1st in the open girls division, and 4th in the open boys division. Special recognition goes to Allie Chipman this week for throwing down in the open race and taking home the win! It was a tough battle for 1st, but Allie never gave up and brought home the victory for Vista Nation running 18:27.
Our performance this weekend speaks volumes to the amount of work you have put in together over the last year. The coaches are very proud of everyone on the TEAM and the commitment you have made this season. WAY TO GO VISTA NATION!!!! Below are the results, and coverage from Arizona.
Time Off From Running
If NXRSW was your last race of the season it is time for a much needed break from running. I will post more detailed information on next weeks blog/training document, but everyone should plan on taking 2 to 3 weeks off from running. A few things to consider:
For some of you taking time off is a HUGE challenge, but trust me when I say your body will thank you for it when you are running fast in the spring.

Time Off From Running
If NXRSW was your last race of the season it is time for a much needed break from running. I will post more detailed information on next weeks blog/training document, but everyone should plan on taking 2 to 3 weeks off from running. A few things to consider:
- Take a minimum of 2 full weeks off from running. Let your body recuperate after a long season of training and racing.
- If you would like to take a 3rd week off, do it! Your track season will not suffer because you took 3 weeks off, and you will feel more refreshed when you return to training for the track season.
- Need more time than 3 weeks? Talk to me about it, but nobody should return to training until they are feeling refreshed, mentally ready, and motivated to do so.
- Workouts for December through winter break will be posted next week. During this time we will not meet as a team. Plan on running on your own, or call up a friend to get a run in together. No intense workouts during this time, just easy running.
For some of you taking time off is a HUGE challenge, but trust me when I say your body will thank you for it when you are running fast in the spring.
