30 weeks of Waiting!

22 Weeks till…..

the OHSAA State Cross Country Championships are here again. 23 weeks of Runnin’ DOWN Dreams. 23 weeks to go from 2 Panthers on the line to……

7 on the line in November.

Every mile we run starting today makes us that much stronger, that much faster, that much fitter. My teammates fitness is my fitness and my fitness is my teams fitness. How fit are we?

How do you feel about 2 fast miles with one to go, heart racing, your mouth dry, muscles aching, are you prepared to endure for your team?

Will be put 7 on the line in November?

“Runnin’ down a dream that never would have come to me!”

And it won’t come to us, we have to run for it! We have to chase it. We have to put in the miles.

“Working on a mystery, going where ever it leads.”

30 weeks ago, 23 weeks from now, 7 on the line in November……

I’m feeling fired up about the season to come. I hope you are too. It’s time to start Working on our Mystery!

Week 1: June 5 - 11
