first jacksonville

...and then some.

It took hard work and great effort to get to Jacksonville.  Advancing to Des Moines took all of that, and then some.  For those new and those forgetful : ) refer to the 03/04/12 post for a description of 'and then some'.  A little over a week from now we will toe the line with the nation's best at the NCAA Nationals in Des Moines.

Others continue to prepare for the USA Junior Championships in Bloomington, IN.  And many now begin in earnest their return to running and laying the foundation for our success in 2012-13.  By endurance we conquer!

Lastly, the blog connects us all, as long as you stay connected to it!  Look for your new annual training spreadsheets in the next few days and FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS please.
