MXCSM

Are YOU ready for your BEST season yet!, with the corona virus, we will still need to be careful and prepared to HOLD OURSELVES ACCOUNTABLE TO DO THE WORKOUTS OR DO THEM ON OUR OWN (or in small groups that YOU communicate and make). There are lots of different "Feelings" about this virus and what is has done to us and how serious we should be as well as worried about it.

If there is a chance that any of us could get sick (We don't care what the disease is), WE need try to do everything we can to stay healthy!

We need to get out there and put in the Time, the Effort, the Sacrifice! Why would it be any different in handling this virus! We might be able to have a "type of practice" sometime soon. We are STILL waiting on guidance/direction from USHAA, Murray School District. YOU NEED TO KNOW THAT THE "NORMAL" type of meeting will need to slightly change and will look different. Don't complain about it, don't assume that doing your part is less...as crazy or difficult as it has been (and could be), what has been good about what has happened to us so far is that IT HAS TRULY SHOWN WHO IS READY TO RISE TO THE OCCASION. So, no matter what has happened, START and decide what you want!

Summer Miles officially starts NEXT MONDAY... Memorial Day May 25^th. THE BEAUTIFUL THING ABOUT SUMMER MILES IS THAT IT IS LIKE A "STARTING OVER" BUTTON! It's a chance to reset and begin fresh...to keep going with a new drive and goal to go after! The start of Summer Miles will still be on your own. Meaning, there will not be official practices (We still don't know exactly what the guidelines will be as in pertains to these NEW PHASES). When we are able to have practices, we just need to be smart and keep a smart distance from each other...IF YOU ARE SICK OR UNDER THE WEATHER IN ANY WAY...STAY HOME, Until you are recovered/feeling better and it is safe for you to be around others.

There most likely be some small changes to how practices go. The blog will tell you where or when or at least the type of workout we will have for the day, for the week. YOU NEED TO BE BETTER AT READING THE BLOG SO THAT YOU KNOW WHAT TO DO!

Team Day practices on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday (See the LINK on the LEFT side of the blog)

Night Practices MTWT are recovery runs (SEE left side of the blog)

Tuesday and Thursday practices (SEE left side of the Blog) will be about Strength workouts and getting out to run! Girl’s will oversee the Run and Core on Tuesdays, Boys on Thursdays.

Continue to communication with your Coaches and team! There is no excuse to not be able to talk to us, send us a message, a Group me, or an email/Zoom meeting. But it is up to you! To reach out and ask, we are HERE for each other.

If any of you are not on Strava (especially the MurraySpartansXC group...see the blog links for how to join Strava and steps to get on the Team/Group), Communicate with us if you have any concerns or if a day or 2 has some issues...JUST COMMUNICATE and we will always be able to work things out! We just really want to help ALL OF YOU.
