OTHER IMPORTANT DATES COMING UP:

MONDAY, JULY 24:  Tahoe Running Camp Planning meeting 6:00-7:15 at Greg's house: 4525 Ranchette Road, Santa Rosa CA 95409 (get there early to park on our road, but space is limited, so you'll have to park at the Rincon Valley Bible Church, then walk over; no cutting through our neighbor's yard as I posted earlier...)

Bring to our Camp Planning meeting

(a copy of picture of you from Kindergarten)

-IMPORTANT 3 ITEMS FOR EVERY CAMPER: 
1) Greg needs to collect a copy of your Kindergarten picture (no originals; I won't be returning them) with your name on the back; if you don't bring one, you won't be eligible for the prizes at camp; OK to bring one to the pancake run on Saturday, or drop off on Greg's porch before our meeting, but please don't make Greg do extra work chasing you down after this meeting!  

2) Be prepared to fill-in your "something unusual and interesting about you" trivia slip
3) Start working on your tent group; remember Greg needs to approve of your tent group, which CANNOT be clics or 100% your BFFs!   ...Mix it up a bit and invite someone new into your group; let's keep camp inclusive; no camper left behind (or alone)! 
-NOTE: on this day, we won't have a 6PM run from Channel; we'll meet 9AM instead

...We're 1/2 way through our 12 weeks of Summer Training, here's who is racking up the miles for the first 6 weeks, via www.xcstats.com (May 29 - July 9) with the same timeframe for comparison (if available) for 2016: May 30 - July 10, in parenthesis for those who have logged in over 100 miles: 

Sara Nguyen 106.8
Zach Lindemann 109 (2016: 219.5)
Logan Field 124.1
Talia Leano 124.72 (2016: 131.74)
Elijah Ettedgui 129.33
Sydnie Rivas 130.38 (2016: 141.6)
Jasmin Hirth 131.58
Ben Lawson 144.6 (2016: 181.76)
Haley Joerger 155.25 (2016: 93.5)
Scott Kruetzfeldt 167.74 (2016: 241.38)
Aimee Armstrong 169.19 (2016: 175.87)
Patrick Phillip 171.1
Nicole Morris 172.91
Pierce Kapustka 182.8
Meghan Field 184.37 (2016: 161.71)
Jack Pickle 242.18
Owen Pugh 242.5 (2016: 220)
Rory Smail 265.76 (2016: 265.45)
Colton Swinth 282.1
Harrison Frankl 316.39 (2016: 233.7)

...Overall, we have more people logging in from 2016 and I believe everyone who is running is putting in good base miles + some decent quality days (I.e. our Monday Richardson Hill Tempo, our Wednesday Tempos and our Saturday Over-distance days...) and I know many athletes have not yet caught up with their logging in, so please do your best to keep logging in your runs and your cross training (swimming, biking) for credit.

...Only 4 weeks until the first day of practice; if you have been training consistently, you had better start to keep up with everyone else!  ;)  

GO PUMAS, it's going to be a great season!
