Ladies,
Things aren't dire yet, but man, we don't need anyone else hurt. It was painful to go to last night's meet and not run everyone, but after today's news, I know it was the right thing to do.
Bret is done. No way I'd risk running her again with the news she got today. Similar news with Diana. Your health is always the most important thing, girls. I cannot and will not risk your safety, ever. No meet is worth it.
Where it stands, we still have a strong enough team to advance. And that's how we have to look at it. We are going to advance. We are going to pass every shirt possible and make it happen. Simple. As. That.
Each of you needs to be thinking hard about the race you plan to run. Go through it in your head over and over until you dream it. Seriously. You will be amazed what an impact visualizing several days out can have on your psyche. Call it a long-range pump. It works!
Tomorrow we are doing some quarters. They won't be too hard, and you'll have a ton of rest. It will be sharp, not hard. Friday is a 3-mile run. That's all. Same for Saturday. Same for Monday. Then we race!
From here on out, there are only two things you can do to help your race: rest, and keep a positive attitude. You, individually, have to believe you are going to have a great race. Believe it, and it will happen.
