moving forward

Hopefully everyone had a good first week back of training on the schedule.  Don't forget to post your mileage for last week in the comments section.  Strength training will be added this week, a schedule will be emailed early in the week.  The summer is a great time to increase strength in all areas, and to strengthen weak areas.  Make a commitment to work hard to make important strength gains.

There was some great coverage of the NCAA Championships in Eugene (commentators not withstanding!), hopefully you were able to watch and be inspired!  Courtney Frerichs of New Mexico became an NCAA Champion and set a collegiate record in the process.  As a high school senior in Missouri she was 54th in her XC state championship race and ran a personal best of 2:24 for the 800m in her spring track season.  Her story is awesome.  To be sure, talent is important, but do not underestimate how important commitment and desire are!
