Two weeks and counting

Ladies,

In only two weeks we have our first meet. A lot of questions are going to be answered at that point, but it will probably raise as many as it answers. I'm getting pretty excited already!

New girls! I should leave more often! If we are going to get quality girls in my absence, well, I should be... absent! It's great to get McKenna back, and I'm very happy to see Kayla again, too. If you don't remember, Kayla ran with us a bit last summer. She's an athlete for sure, and should fit right in. McKenna is sure to be a great asset down the road as her fitness grows. Rumor has it we have another runner coming, too. It just keeps getting better and better.

We still have time to get enough practices in so that everyone can run the opening meet. I really want to do so, too. This is the one meet a year where there is no Varsity or JV - everyone runs! The top seven girls score, simple as that. There is no better way to compare you all to one another than to have you all in the same race.

Seniors... we are going to rotate the captain position starting next week. That gives the first girl a week to get us ready for the first meet. Take this seriously. I do!

Hills tomorrow. It's going to be hard. Don't be afraid, look forward to it. If you can't conquer hard, you can conquer anything.

The song I tried to freestyle today:

"Second time, we're 'round this track,
And the others teams, are startin' to crack,
They keep on fallin' back, girls,
They keep on fallin' back, girls..."

That gets you started. Let's hear this cadence out there, and add your own verse. That's how you play!
