Darts-
Buckle up! I have a lot of info coming your way today.
Tomorrow is the first day of practice! (As a reminder this is the first week that we will be tracking summer miles). I care more about bonding as a TEAM this week than the actual workouts and running we'll be doing (although I care about both)! Everyone, come to practice ready to meet people and learn some new things. Veterans, please do all you can to make newbies and younger kids feel awesome and excited. I got a message from one of my former athletes this week. She said, "you were right, running changed my life and I made the best friends." There is something really cool about doing something hard and fun with friends. You won't regret it! I've said it before and I'll say it a million times again, I think a big TEAM is a better TEAM. Keep inviting your friends. Here is the email signup link for anyone that hasn't filled it out!
We will meet on the west side of the school near the 1400 hall for our run tomorrow. After the run, we'll do a little get to know you game and possibly play some spikeball and crossnet. Between 8:30 and 9:00ish we will go inside the weight room to lift. Recovery equipment is now all in room 1401, I can give you all a little tour tomorrow. :) Plan on being done around 9:30-10:00 on Mondays and Wednesdays.
I've spent the last two weeks preparing all I can to make this season be the best/most successful it possibly can be. I'm excited about some traditions that we'll keep up and some fun new things we're going to try!
Some new things:
Lifting
We are going to be VERY intentional about our lifting program this summer and cross country season. I really believe that this is an area where we can separate ourselves from other TEAMS. I bought a program (your summer fees at work) from one of the BYU strength coaches for 5k runners (YOU)! We will lift every Monday and Wednesday during the summer after we run. During the school year we'll continue to lift twice a week.
***abs are not a part of this program-do them EVERY day***
Final Surge
Download the Final Surge app and create an account. More info to come on how to link our TEAM ---don't pay for a subscription, we'll have a TEAM subscription (more of our summer fees at work 
) If you have strava or garmin connect, link it! This is going to be a great way for me and Coach Sweat to look at what you're doing every day. This is an experiment that we're going to try, but I think we'll really like it! More info on this soon...

Just send your miles in via email!
Since we're new to this app and still learning, for now, I still want you to also email me miles every Saturday/Sunday after your final run of the week. I updated the template if you'd like to use it. (It's attached). You can send in your miles however you want, but make sure they get to me on Saturday/Sunday each week!
Coach Meetings:
Coach Sweat and I would like to meet with EVERYONE over the next few weeks. Be prepared to answer the following questions if you ran last year, if not, we'll just get to know you!
What worked really well for me last season?
What didn't work well?
What are my goals for summer running?
How am I/ can I contribute positively to the environment of our TEAM?
What are my goals for cross country and beyond?
What is my favorite part of running for Davis High?
Reminder to Pay!
Please remember to send in your summer fees! Thank you! The cost of the 12 weeks of summer training is $60. Thanks to those that have already paid (29 of you). The easiest way to pay is venmo @davisrunningclub.
This week
XC Class
Please join the XC class if you are able to! It will be 5th period and taught by Coach Sweat. We will use this class to cross train, roll out, do double runs, etc.
Retreats
June 24-25 Boys Retreat Farmington Canyon
June 26-27 Girls Retreat Bear Lake
The retreats will be for kids that are in 9-12th grade and have been attending practice regularly.
For Parents:
Years ago, Corbin Talley hosted a Track Tuesday night for adults to go to the Davis track and do speed workouts together. I attended for years and decided it's high time I start that back up again! Please come and join! Open for anyone over 18. 
I won't start this next week because of a steeple event at Weber, so I'll start June 10th!
I won't start this next week because of a steeple event at Weber, so I'll start June 10th! Beanies and Singlets
I bought all of coach T's Davis gear from him. I have a bunch of beanies for $5 and white Davis singlets for $10. I can get those out tomorrow for whoever is interested.
Please don't hesitate to reach out! I know this is a lot of information and can feel overwhelming. I'm happy to help! See you all bright and early tomorrow!
Coach Jami
