courage for the week

The physical preparation is all but done as we head into conference weekend. All that remains is a little aerobic tune-up and some cut-downs for a little rhythm. After that it is time to steel ourselves with courage for our upcoming opportunities.

What is courage? You can find many definitions, but I what to share one I read recently that comes to mind now:

"Courage is the capacity to confront what can be imagined." - Leo C. Rosten

As you have diligently prepared physically, all of you have imagined your race this weekend. You have visualized it, even dreamt about it. Now is the time to make what you have imagined a glorious reality.
