if weather = : ) and fitness = ^, then times = !!!

With everyone deeply immersed in academics, it's certain that the very Tech-like title to this post is easily understood. The goal is simple. This week, everyone is better than they have ever been before. Fitness, weather, mental toughness, intelligent racing, and opportunity all come together in the next several days.

Seven men and seven women will be selected in the next couple of days to represent all of us at the regional on Saturday. The 1600 on Monday will sharpen everyone for a great effort later in the week. But the 1600 will NOT be used to select who will travel. It is not a race to beat one another. Challenging but manageable paces will be targeted; strong finishes are desired and teamwork in the homestretch will be the order of the day.

Enjoy the week!
