HILLS BABY!!!

First of all... I have to give mad props to this crew!! First day of Phase 2 of our training which meant first day of HILLS!! These guys ran 4.5 miles of hills today and pushed each other SO hard. And of course after hard workouts I (Fuller) always spoils with Pace Bars or Choc Milk. They will benefit from this workout so much as we only have a month till our first meet, and yes, it's on the state course... with hills.... get the picture! 😉 That being said, I am genuinely disappointed in the amount of runners coming out to summer practices.. I know I have heard from MANY of you right after XC season last year and you told me you would run and train SO hard in the summer to be better next year. Let me see it now!! Running by yourself will not push you or help you as much as training with the "family"!! DO NOT have a regret when the season starts that you didn't run enough in the summer. We have worked hard as coaches setting up this training and give up 2 or 3 times a week to come up and help push you and give you the motivation you need to succeed.  I told the crew today that the hardest part about running the hills is actually just waking up and coming to the practice. Once your there, you do it and push yourself.. But getting the motivation to get out of bed and come is the hardest part! We have a whole lot of potential this year to be successful and compete against the best teams with the classification change... But I guarantee you the other teams are not sitting on their butts at home, they are running and getting tons of mileage. Any team could work their guts out and pull off a victory in October... Let's be THAT team!

That being said we are going to have a short TEAM MEETING THIS FRIDAY!! 8:00am at the Track. There is a lot we have to go over so you will be ready for our first meet which again is before school starts so you have to have everything done to be able to come and compete with us!

Bring or tell your teammates, friends, or anyone interested in running with us!!

In the meantime... Practice is still everyday 7AM at the track!! Hope to see you all soon!
