USU Results and Labor Day

Before I rant.. Monday I would like you to get 6 to 8 miles in. We haven't had a good long run in awhile and we need it to offset all the hill/interval work. With 2 races this next week we will only have this day to get some distance in. So wherever you are for the holiday, please try to get it in no matter the time or night.

To say I was happy about the results at USU is an understatement. The course ended up being closer to 3.2 miles than 3.1 miles. Which would be take off anywhere between 1 - 2 minutes from your time.. What I want you to look at is your avg min/mile on your card. This will show you where you were at. We also just ran Como hard with only 1 day rest in between.. which was my choice and was hard but I knew it was early in the season and we need endurance and to learn how to fight when we're sore, hurt, and tired. And that is exactly what I saw. I have been asking you every time after the race if you gave me everything you had... I've been lucky to have a few of you raise your hands but never more than 7 out of the 50 runners on our team. But not this race! Not anymore... I saw so much heart and push in that race. And the best part about it is, I know you will all be able to push even more! We made huge strides against Ridgeline in this race. At first I was bitter about them being in our region as we have been losing to them.. After all the races we have been 2nd in our region behind them and I hated that thinking we should've been region champs this year.. But then I looked at Bella storming across the fields on her crutches with our "injured" crew, they would give anything to be running with their team. And I heard the girls varsity team say to run for them that wish SO badly they could be out there. You guys would do anything for each other. And I KNEW that I was stupid to think we were going to lose to Ridgeline.. I know because of you guys that ANYTHING can happen and that there is a lot of season left. So that being said... I believe in you.. Let's go surprise some people!
