morning joy...and then some

"The singer can easily move us to tears or to laughter, but where is he who can excite in us a pure morning joy?" - Henry David Thoreau in 'Walking'

Last Saturday morning, we saw how we can be moved by sport.  What a thrilling run, what a display of courage and will, of heart and soul.  How the effort of one can lift many, and the hope of many can lift one.  For the strength of the Swarm is the Yellow Jacket, and the strength of the Yellow Jacket is the Swarm.

Now as we begin to switch gears to the upcoming track season, I thought it might be a good time to revisit an old phrase introduced several years ago..."and then some".

"and then some", what does that mean? It means everything. Give all you've got, and then some. Care a lot, and then some. Be a great teammate, and then some. Encourage others often, and then some. Go the extra mile, and then some. Strive as hard as you can, and then some.

Remember that phrase, "and then some", consider it a team motto, if you will. Use it as a personal motto, even better.
