MHSXC Summer --Week 7

Hubba Hubba - The week before camp!!! Once again, we'll mix it up a bit this week.  With a few out-of-town runs, our typical July week of hills, tempo, repeats and maybe a bit of time spent helping Coach Scoles prepare for next week; before you know it we'll be running the hills around Lake Diane.  Well,  you'll be running.  I may stick to the bike!!!

The parent meeting was a great success, with 100% parent attendance!!!  Also, great job getting permission slips submitted.  However, a few of you still need to turn in a physical. Please do so asap.

The extended forecast has us looking good for next week.  Cool, dry and perfect for training!!!

Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but we rather have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit. Aristotle

MHSXC - Summer Week 5

Today's picnic was beautiful; you guys are awesome.  Sean was a great leader and tremendous role model.  I know his kind heart and giving personality influenced and continues to influence your kind hearts; I encourage you to let it.  Like many of you, I think about Sean and pray for his family daily.  I miss him and I'm always comforted to be surrounded by those of you who loved him.
