May 16th, Wednesday

With my knee giving me problems, I was hoping to have a longer run but was not really sure if it would happen, especially on day six in a row.  The key was, as it usually is, to just take it one step at a time and before I knew it, I was 5 miles in with over 3 miles to go to get back to school!   I have not walked at all so far so I wasn't about to start now even though I have to admit to being tempted.  I always remember what Coach Geiger always tells the XC runners before our first meet (Bronco Invite) that no CCHS XC runner walks up the hill or anywhere else!  Before you know it, you are finished and drinking a cold Power or Gatorade!  8.95 miles on the combo easet/west 56 run.

Today at school we showed one of Nicky Geis' videos (she is a good friend and former teacher at CCHS) that I would like to share with all of you.  It is all about what is possible.  Nicky went one particular direction with it and it is awesome!  This can be used in all arenas of life, so make sure to stay on the positive train to "I think I can!"  This girl has what it takes to make it so I thought I would give you a sneak preview of what you will be seeing on TV someday in the near future!

It's funny how the people who say it can't be done are always getting interrupted by those who are doing it! That is paraphrased from James Baldwin.  I really like the way he thinks!

Total Miles:  796.32   Pace Runner:  753.13   +  43.19 miles!
