Sept. 19 thru Sept. 25 Schedule

FROM SHERI:


Way to Go: I am so proud of everyone who ran at Saltillo on Saturday. Whether you won a t-shirt or not, there are many things to be proud of. We had some PR's, some amazing time being sliced off - go Andy Young!, great team efforts and a general showing of good sportsmanship. I was so bummed I could not be there, but I have heard endless good reports of great running, cheering, smiles and perserverance. I am so proud of all the jv and varsity runners. But...let's not stop there!


This Week: Our focus word is commitment. Are you commited to making this running season your best yet? Are you commited to running for the team? Are you commited to finishing a 5K without walking? Are you commited to striving forward? If you're ready to commit then I'm ready to push you on to excellence. Priority #1 - Answer this question honestly - Are you running the schedule on all assigned days? If you are then go one step further... are you running all days to the best of your ability? That's for you to ponder and answer this week. I see some struggling to get 3 miles done at practice and I know it's because you're not committing yourself to your training. It's not too late to get in the game and get serious. Only you can do this for yourself, but I look forward to seeing legs that are ready and minds that are set on running for the goal.


Remember: I heard a story of the gentleman who held the record for under a four minute mile. When asked how he succeeded he said the other runners around him seemed to be focused on getting to the yellow tape at the end of the race. His strategy was a bit different. He said he didn't focus on the tape but running through the tape by several hundred feet. Establish your goal for this week and run PAST your comfort zone. No one can do it for you!


Groups: I will probably change some grouping again this week as some have expressed the interest to move out of fitness and into a regular group and some want to compete with jv. We'll probably go over this on Tuesday so stick with your present group until then.
