Darts -
The season is officially in full swing. We had our 2nd meet of the year this past week on Wednesday. The pre-region race at Layton Park showed that we are going to be very strong in the region this year. The girls and the boys both came away with 1st place TEAM finishes in both varsity and JV.
In the girls race, Shea Martinez ran a very strong 2nd mile to pull away for the victory. Her 11:56 was the 2nd fastest time ever run on the 2 mile pre-region course. Shea was followed by Joanna Boyd, Emily Hammond, Ashley Tyndall, and Kami Dixon. All 5 of our scores placed in the top 7 to give us a final of 19 points. For those of you new to cross country, a perfect score is 15 points. Cross country scores are determined by adding together the places for the top 5 runners on your team. The team with the lowest score wins. So, a 1-2-3-4-5 finish gives you a perfect 15. There are typically 7 runners in the varsity race and the remaining runners race in the JV race. If you remove the top 7 from every team in the girls race, our JV girls would have finished 1st through 20th - to win the JV race with a perfect 15. It shows we have some incredible depth. Our best improvements this week were by Michaela Uresk, Katie Frandsen, and Becca Albrechtsen.
In the boys JV race, we did end with a perfect score of 15. Ryan Lee was the JV champ in 10:59, Taylor Goldsberry was right behind in 11:01, Phillip Baker, Korbin Birrell, and Ryan Tanner rounded out our top 5. It was good to see some of our young, new boys making a good improvement over the grass relays from a week ago.
In the varsity race, our boys had 10 of the top 12 places for a final score of 17. Brad Nye narrowly missed the course record but ran a great time of 10:05 - only 1 second off of Neuner's 10:04 from last year. Preston Johnson placed 2nd overall, Brayden Cromar was 3rd, Alex Hedquist was 5th, and Skylar Williams was 6th. We looked stronger than we did a week ago, but still need to work on our final 1/2 mile of the race.
Overall it was a good meet. The weather was hot (90 degrees), but we looked strong. As coaches, we are happy about the beginning of the season, but we are really looking for some of you to step up your performances over the next few weeks. It is important that we take these early races as an opportunity to learn to run as a TEAM, learn to push through the pain, and learn to finish races with strength and determination. It is also important to be patient and to realize that it doesn't come all at once. Keep working hard and stay focused. Full results from the pre-region meet can be found at www.regiononetrack.blogspot.com
Our next big test will be at the BYU Invitational this coming Saturday. The boys will see a strong team from Mountain View who has been running with a very tight 1-4 gap, and the girls are going to face our big 5A competition from the Alta team who was missing a few of their top girls at the Grass Relays. It will also be our first chance at racing a 5k.
We have an important week in front of us as far as training goes. Please come to each of the practices with the right mind-set. That mind-set would be with a determination to run hard and be extra positive through the workouts. I also want each of you training with purpose and with TEAMwork. Be excited for what we have coming up. . .
Thanks for your commitment and sacrifice -
Coach Talley

Season Update #1 - Grass Relays
Darts -
It is nice to get the season started with a successful showing at the Grass Relays yesterday. Although it was quite hot throughout the morning, we had some very strong early season times. Both our boys and our girls finished up the varsity relay (5 x 2 miles) with 2nd place finishes in a very strong field on both sides. The boys ran our fastest TEAM time in 9 years of running the relays. We finished with a time of 53:53 - which also ranks us in the top 10 team times ever run on the course. We finished 2nd to American Fork (52:48) who looks stronger than expected. We will also see some good competition from the Mountain View team who finished 3rd in 54:31. The boys JV team looked strong and gained the victory in the Junior/Senior division, but we would have been a close 2nd to American Fork in the JV races if they had been combined (also to A.F.). Our boys were led by Preston (5th overall), Brad (6th overall), and Cromar (15th overall). We also had strong JV performances by Allred (2nd in the junior/senior), and Logan (5th in the junior/senior). All of the times are listed at the bottom of this email.
The girls finished with a time of 65:44 to finish 2nd by about :30 behind a very strong Skyline team. It was a very positive start for our girls in both the Varsity and the JV races. We had 16 girls run under 14:00 - our previous most was 11. If we combine our 5 best times of the day, we are right behind the time our state championship TEAM ran a year ago. The girls would have won both of the JV races as well - with 5 of the top 18 places in the freshman/sophomore race, and 8 of the top 21 in the junior/senior race. Our girls were led by Shea (5th overall) and Ellie (9th overall). We also had great performances by Ashley (winning junior/senior), Kami (5th in the junior/senior), and Aimee-Hannah-Chelsey (who finished 2-3-4 in the freshman/sophomore race). All of the times are listed at the bottom of this email.
I thought overall we had some ups and downs - but mostly ups. Our TEAM looks strong coming off of a solid summer - and we hope to improve from where we are. I hope that some of you were excited about your performances and thinking about how you can run even faster and stronger, and I know that some of you left the race feeling slightly unsatisfied - or maybe even a bit discouraged. To those of you who were a little down after the race - I say, it is only one race. We have many more opportunities to test ourselves. Don't beat yourselves up over the first race. Stay positive and stay motivated. Running is full of ups and downs - but the great thing is that you will always get another chance at redemption. I will be watching for each of you to step it up in the next few weeks. As you gain experience and fix your mistakes and get stronger (both mentally and physically) we hope that you will show us what you are really made of. One of the things I felt we can work on as a TEAM is racing with passion - really racing, not just running hard. One of the things I thought we did great as a TEAM was to support each other and cheer for each other (we were the best TEAM out there at showing support for our runners).
Coming up this week -
Monday - we are doing mile repeats at Lagoon trails - we might be done with practice a little later than normal, but we will try to hurry.
Wednesday - Pre-Region at Layton Park. The boys JV will race at 3:30, all girls will race at 3:50, and the varsity boys will race at 4:10 (this will be the top 10 boys from the grass relays). We will be excused from school at 1:45 and leave on the bus at 2:00. I will send an excuse list to the junior highs for 1:45 as well. 9th graders from Kaysville and Farmington should try to be on the bus at 2:00. 9th graders from Fairfield and Centennial can meet us at Layton Park as close to 2:15 as possible.
Thursday - just a reminder that the parents' night has been changed to Thursday, September the 8th at 7:00pm in the cafeteria at Davis High. BYU Men's Cross Country Coach - Ed Eyestone will be our guest speaker this year. I have heard him speak a few times before, and it is very inspiring. Don't miss it.
Saturday - we will meet at the school at 7:00am - most likely to travel to the Ogden trails for a distance run.
Eligibility - if you have not finished your eligibility papers or paid your fee, please do so early this week.

Summer Update - Week 10
Darts -
It is hard to believe that we are down to the final 2 weeks of summer training. For the most part, I am pleased with the first 10 weeks. We have had our ups and downs, but I have seen a lot of improvement and commitment, and we are accomplishing our goal of building a solid base for our TEAM and I think many of you are going to be ready for the season. The final 2 weeks of the summer means it is time to get more intense with our training. For those of you who have been running higher mileage (50+ for the boys and 40+ for the girls) these last 2 weeks might even be slightly lower as we add in some more intervals and the Dart Challenge 5k (August 20th). I know that at times during the summer it is a challenge to stay motivated and to run on your own - but these last 2 weeks you have got to find some motivation to be consistently running. It will really prepare you for the first week of school when we begin to meet every day after school as a TEAM.
High Altitude Camp was a HUGE success. We were worried about the weather going into the camp, but we got lucky and were able to have a solid week of training and a fun week of playing. I want to thank all of the parents who helped with the driving and especially the parents who were able to camp with us through part or all of the week. Thanks to Brad and his kids, and Janae and Kenneth for all of their help in making the camp memorable. Thanks to the alumni who were able to come - you will all be greatly missed. And thanks to the athletes who earned the opportunity to attend the camp and made it so much fun. I was proud of the work we put in this past week, I was proud of your attitudes and your excitement for what we are doing, and I was proud of our TEAM for being unified and well-behaved. I didn't get to announce our "camper of the week" - but that was Brooke Gutzwiller. Thanks, Brooke, for always being so helpful and for working so hard and setting an example to us all. We are going to be doing things like cross country camp throughout the year (Bob Firman in Boise, Nike Regionals in Arizona, Simplot in Pocatello, and other fun things). The way to be involved in those things is to work hard, be committed and dedicated, and show me that you want to be part of the group that gets to do the extra things we do as a TEAM. I put some camp pictures on facebook - I don't think you need to be a "friend" of mine to see them - feel free to check them out. Good Times.
At cross country camp, we talked a lot about setting goals and doing the work it takes to accomplish your goals. I hope that you all have some type of purpose with your running. It does not matter what level of runner you are, you can all make contributions to our TEAM, and you can all learn to push yourselves and accomplish your own goals. We definitely like to win and be successful, but more importantly, we like to see you learning and growing and improving as runners and as individuals. As we begin racing in the next few weeks, do your best to analyze how your running is going and what kinds of things you can do to improve. Janae stresses the "little things" with running (abs, lifting, stretching, hydrating, diet, icing, etc) - all of those things combined can really make a big difference - and can really help you to see some progress. I would like to add PATIENCE to that list. Be positive through your challenges and setbacks. Realize that it takes time to see the improvements and the progress. It doesn't always happen overnight - or even over one season. Just because you might not be where you want to be right away, doesn't mean you should get discouraged or quit. One of the things that makes running so rewarding is that it takes time - and that it is NOT easy. The toughness of it, the challenges you will face, and the ups and downs are what will help you to feel satisfaction and pride for what you are able to do.
I hope that each of you will put a lot of heart and a lot of passion into the next few weeks of training and racing. I want to see people doing their best and learning from their mistakes. We are not going to see perfection right away, but we can give our best efforts from the start. I will never ask you to be a state champion - but I will ask you to do your best. The pre-season cross country polls have our boys ranked 6th in the U.S. (http://rise.espn.go.com/track-and-xc/rankings/harrier-xc/2011/Preseason.aspx) It is a little higher than I thought we would start - but it is totally within our reach. The girls' TEAM is going to have a lot of new faces on our varsity, and some people are probably not expecting us to be that tough - but I am seeing a TEAM that is filled with excitement, teamwork, and toughness. And I think our girls are going to surprise a lot of people - and even have a shot at another state championship. On both sides we can accomplish some remarkable things this fall as a TEAM. We are going to need to stay humble, passionate, and tough. And we are going to have to be a TEAM the whole way through.
*Make sure to send in your mileage for last week and any other weeks you haven't sent in. If you are not sure how much you ran at camp - just tell me camp + what you did on Saturday.
This week's workouts:
Tuesday, August 9th (tomorrow) - Meet at Barnes Park at 7:00am - we are going to do a 3 mile tempo run and a few strides on the grass. (This was not on the original schedule).
Thursday, Auguts 11th - Meet at Davis at 7:00am - we are running up to Nichols Park for some intervals.
Dart Challenge 5k: I will have registration fliers at all of the practices from now until the race. I will also send out an email. I hope that all of you are planning on running (even if you are not "ready" for it). It is how we start the season, and it is expected that you be there. It will be on August 20th at 8:00am at Barnes Park. Try to recruit some friends, family, or neighbors to join us.

Shoes: Make sure that you are training in good running shoes. Striders in Layton is a great place to go - because they get you in the right pair of shoes. For cross country racing, it is good to get a pair of cross country spikes. Look for ones with rubber soles that have places for spikes (even if you don't end up racing with the spikes in) plus you can wear them when we get to indoor and outdoor track. eastbay.com is a good place to order shoes - and they sometimes have some great deals. Although cross country racing shoes are not necessary, I definitely encourage you to pick up a pair - because they will help you race faster. Here are some links to some good shoes from eastbay -

Summer Update - Week 7
Darts -
The email this week is pretty simple. Great job at the vita course this morning. I could tell that most of you ran hard and gave good efforts like we had asked you to. A big part of being a good runner is having self-discipline and self-motivation. I don't think too many of your parents are forcing you to get out of bed early in the morning for TEAM runs or for running on your own--it is mostly up to you to get yourselves going and to make sure that you run when you need to run. It takes personal commitment and discipline. So many of you are doing an outstanding job this summer of working hard and being committed to improving. I have really enjoyed your reading your training logs and watching you push yourselves at practice, and I am giving the TEAM one huge GREAT JOB! The work is going to pay off this season. Keep running hard and having fun and don't get too discouraged if you have set backs (which you will). Stay positive and never give up.
Thank you very much to all of those who helped with the Legacy Midnight Run - including 4-5 parents. Some of the volunteers were there til after 1:30am on Saturday. I appreciate you giving the time and helping the TEAM out.
I have attached the new training schedule. This will take us through the final 5 weeks of the summer (how sad is that?). The key here is that you start running faster and faster - keep recovery days in your schedule, but work hard on the hard days. This is where we start to get back into cross country racing shape. Let me know if you have any questions.
I have also attached a Deseret News 10k registration form. If you would like to do the 10k, please get the form filled out and bring it to me at Thursday's practice with $20. If you can't get it to me on Thursday, send me an email or a text, and we will figure something out. We will be entering the high school TEAM divisions for both the boys and the girls. The race begins at 6:00am up near the University of Utah. On Thursday after practice, we will have a quick meeting and make some plans about how we will get down to the race.
Thursday, July 21 - Meet at Layton Park at 7:00am - we will be doing a tempo run. I am giving a special invite to any of you who have not made it to a practice yet (or haven't been in a while). This would be a good one to start with. I will bring popsicles.
Saturday, August 20th - Dart Challenge 5k. All of you should be planning on racing the 5k and try to get family and friends to come as well (it is a fundraiser for the TEAM).
Let me know if there is anything I can do for you. Send in your week 7 mileage if you haven't already.
Thanks
Coach Talley
"Distance runners are experts at pain, discomfort, and fear. You're not coming away feeling good. It's a matter of how much pain you can deal with on those days. it's not a strategy. It's just a callusing of the mind and body to deal with discomfort... That's the nature of their game. Taking pain." - Running with the Buffaloes (Taken from Dan Wybrow's facebook page)

The key here is that you start running faster and faster - keep recovery days in your schedule, but work hard on the hard days. This is where we start to get back into cross country racing shape. Let me know if you have any questions.
I have also attached a Deseret News 10k registration form. If you would like to do the 10k, please get the form filled out and bring it to me at Thursday's practice with $20. If you can't get it to me on Thursday, send me an email or a text, and we will figure something out. We will be entering the high school TEAM divisions for both the boys and the girls. The race begins at 6:00am up near the University of Utah. On Thursday after practice, we will have a quick meeting and make some plans about how we will get down to the race.
Thursday, July 21 - Meet at Layton Park at 7:00am - we will be doing a tempo run. I am giving a special invite to any of you who have not made it to a practice yet (or haven't been in a while). This would be a good one to start with. I will bring popsicles.
Saturday, August 20th - Dart Challenge 5k. All of you should be planning on racing the 5k and try to get family and friends to come as well (it is a fundraiser for the TEAM).
Let me know if there is anything I can do for you. Send in your week 7 mileage if you haven't already.
Thanks
Coach Talley
"Distance runners are experts at pain, discomfort, and fear. You're not coming away feeling good. It's a matter of how much pain you can deal with on those days. it's not a strategy. It's just a callusing of the mind and body to deal with discomfort... That's the nature of their game. Taking pain." - Running with the Buffaloes (Taken from Dan Wybrow's facebook page)

Summer Update #6
Darts -
It is hard to believe that we are 6 weeks into the summer training - and that the weeks that count for summer mileage are already half way over. I think it has been a decent first half of summer. Many of you have worked hard and increased your mileage and trained consistently through these first weeks. But we have to be even stronger over the 2nd half of the summer. I know that it can be tough to stay focused over 12 weeks of the summer. It is much easier to be lazy and to just look for "fun" things to do through the summer. But I promise you that you will be happier if you put in some work with your play. You will come out of the summer with a higher fitness level, and you will be satisfied that you accomplished something as an individual and as a TEAM.
As a TEAM, the girls are at 6,324 combined miles. Last year we were at 6,630 after the first 6 weeks, and we ended the summer with 12,821 (a TEAM record). I really think we can break the TEAM record and finish over 13,000 miles, but it is going to take a TEAM effort. Many of you have dropped off a little over the past few weeks, and Janae and I are challenging you to re-focus and to set some goals and to help the TEAM get over 13,000 miles. I have attached the summer miles up to this point. Let me know if you see any errors or if I am missing a week that you have reported. If you have any blank weeks, let me know and I will fill them in and we will go from there. If you haven't sent in a single week, but would like to help the TEAM over the second half of the summer, start sending me your weekly training log and I will add you to the list. We have been successful over the years because we are willing to work hard and run more than most other teams do over the summer. I want to commend those of you who have been working hard for your TEAM, and I want to challenge all of you to work even harder over the second half of the summer so that we are tougher than ever when the season arrives.
The boys are sitting at 7,863 combined miles. Some of the boys have really caught fire and are consistently reporting solid weeks, but many of the boys have fallen off or leveled off. I think we can get 9,000 miles over the second half of the summer and end close to 17,000. It won't quite be a record (18,098 from 2010), but it will be a huge TEAM accomplishment. The same challenge goes to the boys as I gave to the girls. Get involved, increase your mileage, make a commitment to work harder and run more - and as a TEAM, let's see if we can break 17,000 miles. Even if you have not sent in a single week, you can still start to contribute and help us reach our goal.
Look at what you did for the first half of the summer, and set a goal for the second half. Then try to make a general plan on how you are going to reach that overall mileage goal over the final 6 weeks of the summer. I would look at it in two 3 week building cycles. For example - you might go 35-40-35, then 40-45-50 to total 245 miles over the final 6 weeks of the summer. Not only will it make you a stronger, more committed runner, but it will help our TEAM complete one of our best summers ever.
I want you all to work on your TOUGHNESS. You don't have to run "all-out" every time - but practice pushing your limits. Get your lungs used to the burning, and your legs used to the aching, and your heart used to the pounding. And then get your mind ready to overcome any doubts and fears. You have to make yourselves used to the uncomfortable pace and push your way through it physically and mentally. All of us can run harder than our minds currently think. All of us can increase our pain tolerance - and become tougher mentally. One thing that will give you mental toughness and confidence is completing hard workouts where you really give your all. It does not matter how fast you are - but it does matter that you learn to run your best and challenge yourself. Our workouts will start to get harder and harder from this week on.
Janae is going to write up an email on nutrition. You should see that email in the next week or so. Nutrition is another area where you can help yourselves have more energy and recover more quickly.
This week's schedule -
Wednesday - Varsity Run - meet at the school at 7:00am
Thursday - Everyone meet at the school at 7:00am - we are driving over to the Lagoon Trails for mile repeats
Monday (the 18th) - Vita Course @ 7:00am
High Altitude Camp - I have given out the invitations and the information for the high altitude camp (August 1-5). Please let me know if you have any questions or if any of you who are on the list I sent out last week will be unable to go. I have a few alternates in mind, and I will invite the alternates if any of the original list is unable to go. Also, let me know if you would like to be considered for the alternate list.
Legacy Midnight Run - Thanks to those who have volunteered to help with the Legacy Midnight Half Marathon, 10k, and 5k. We will meet at the Farmington Frontrunner Station (by the new Harmon's) at 8:30pm on Friday. We should be done around 12:30am. This will earn $1000 for the program. Let me know if you have any questions. I am still looking for about 10 volunteers to add to the following list of people who have emailed me that they would be able to help. Let me know if I somehow missed you.

Deseret News 10k - If any of you are interested in running the Deseret News 10k as a member of the Davis TEAM, please let me know. ANYONE can run it - the cost is $20 if you register with a high school team. We will NOT be staying down in Salt Lake like we have in past years. Instead, we will need to coordinate rides early in the morning on Monday, July 25th to get down to the race. If you would like to run, just let me know and I will get you a registration form.
Dart Challenge 5k - Will be on August 20th. I will send out the entry forms soon. Try to get family and friends excited to run with us. It is a fundraiser for the TEAM.

Summer Cross Country - Update #5
Darts -
I was very impressed with your efforts and performances this week at the vita course and at the Layton Park mile repeats. This was probably our hardest week of the summer so far, and you responded well. Nearly everyone who made it to the practices was running hard and learning from the practice. Congrats to both Preston Johnson and Brad Nye for running faster than the previous record on the Vita Course. For those of you who have not been coming to TEAM practices and maybe have not been running this summer, I hope you know that it is still okay to start now. It is not too late by any means to still get some solid base out of your summer training. I think you will find the workouts fun and challenging and you will find that it is nice to be running with people who will push you to be better. If you are afraid that you are too slow or not ready, don't let that keep you from experiencing DXC. We have runners at all levels - and no one there is as ready as they want to be - we are working together to get faster and stronger and more ready. You will meet some good people at the practices, and I might even bring popsicles.
Keep doing the little things that are going to make you better and keep you healthy - get enough sleep, eat right, do your abs and pushups and weights, make sure you are stretching regularly, and ice if you need to ice. In addition to all of the things you can do to train physically, don't neglect the mental side of preparation. Practice pushing through the times that you want to slow down or run more comfortably. When you get to the point in a run where you are having doubts about how fast you can go - fight those doubts with positive self talk. Believe in yourselves and believe that you will get stronger from the work you are putting in. Set goals and make plans for what you are going to do each week to get the mileage you want. And try to develop a love for running and how it makes you feel.
Let me know if you have any questions or concerns.
I hope you had a great week 5 - send me your miles!!
Enjoy your 4th of July weekend.

I need 25 volunteers - and the race has agreed to donate $1,000 to the program. It should be fun - and they will give each of the volunteers a t-shirt and glow sticks. It is a great way for us to earn some money (which is much needed at this point).
High Altitude Camp - On Tuesday next week, I will have a list of those invited to high altitude camp (August 1-5 at Marsh Lake in the Uintahs). I will also email out the list and the waiver with more information about the camp. I will be inviting you based on summer mileage through the first 5 weeks, attendance at practice, communication with me, and on your ability to handle the intense week of training at a high altitude. I will be able to bring about 50 of you.
Dart Challenge 5k - will be on August 20th at 8:00 am at Barnes Park. Keep the day open if possible - it is a fundraiser for the program and our first TEAM race of the season.

Hello all,
I've noticed as I've been reading through your mileage report emails that several of you are complaining of shin splints. Some of the aches and pains that many of you are feeling are a part of your body getting used to the running. However, it is important that we take care of these aches and pains before they turn into more serious issues. Here is an article that my husband Ken wrote that provides some great tips to help you overcome shin splints. http://blog.utahrunning.com/shin-splints-secrets/
