week of Oct 12-18

note: while we would prefer to be on the cinder loop at the park, tuesday's workout will be on the track. With class schedules this semester, the morning is our only opportunity to have the team practice together. We prefer to keep everyone working out with the team. However, with the days becoming shorter, it is pretty dark until about 7:15ish in the morning. Thus it would be very difficult to try to complete several quality efforts on the cinder loop in the dark.

"Discipline is the soul of an army. It makes small numbers formidable, procures success to the weak, and esteem to all"
