these are the times...

Solid first week of practice, great job to everyone on reporting with a nice level of base fitness. Now, let's just stack one solid week on top of another. After the summer break, it's always great to get the team back together at practice. I subscribe to the sentiments expressed in the following quote - I hope you do too!

"These are some of the greatest moments of our lives. We may not see it yet, we may not even know it, but I think that we will look back as withered elderly men upon these times as some of the most profound of our lives. And if I don't, that's even better, because it would take a hell of a life to cloud over the shining, glistening days of collegiate cross country." - Adam Batliner, Univ of Colorado, 1998
