wanna be startin' somethin'

Time to get it going again...we talkin' about practice!

REMINDER - submit Teamworks COVID self-check prior to leaving apt/dorm; arrive at locker room for COVID temp check between 6:00-6:15 AM.

Whatever the fall season has in store for us, everybody gets better!  Day by day, week by week, and month by month.  The road to improvement is often not a straight line.  There will be ups and downs, individually and as a team.  But together, focused on our core values, we will forge a path upwards.  Those values can be found at the top of the blog and at the end of the each blog post.

Always...TEAM > TEAMMATE > SELF...and remember, iron sharpens iron!

Our efforts this week, while moving our aerobic fitness forward, will also serve as a gauge on where everyone is at as we start the fall semester.  This will help us shape our training going forward.  The first effort will be a structured cut-down run and the second will be lactate shuttle fartlek.

EASY DAY PACE REMINDER (Mon if run, Wed, Thu, Sat): rule of thumb, on easy days run no faster than 2' slower than current 5k race pace!

Daily - 5 minute mindfulness

TEAM > TEAMMATE > SELF
