the f*#k you do

NOTE ABOUT MANDATORY COVID TESTING... will take place on Tuesday this week between 7:30-8:45 AM in the Tech Center; remember to write initials on vial!

Watched part II of the HBO documentary "TIGER", about golfer Tiger Woods, arguably the greatest golfer of all-time, and one of the greatest competitors of all-time in any sport.  I am a big believer in and huge fan of second chances and comebacks.  At 2019 Masters Tournament, after battling health and personal turmoil for a decade, Tiger is challenging for the win going into the final round.  Commentator remarks how many of the young current top golfers grew up idolizing Tiger Woods and dreamt of wanting to go head to head with Tiger Woods in the final round of a major tournament.  Commentator follows with "the f*#k you do...you have no idea what you are getting yourself into".

Some suggestions:

>you should report your mileage each week and results for Tue & Fri workouts via text or email

For the next week we are in a period where no activity can be required, only suggested.  It is entirely up to you whether you complete suggested workouts.  As such, we can make sure the track is open for those who are local, but we cannot be at practice.  We are available, however, for any questions you have or input you want/need.  For weekly mileage, you can post to comments like the summer or you can text.  For suggested workout results, you can text if you want coaches to have the information.

Easy tempo and tempo running, fartlek running, and hills are acceptable substitutes for listed workouts.
