~:[CH8 - Day 86]:~ Grinding Through
It was one of those crazy days. Running from meeting to meeting, catching up with alumni at lunch and dinner, a quick stop here and another one there, and in the end, I made it home and simply crashed. It was exhausting. It was a perfect parallel to my athletes who faced a little warmer than usual weather when it came down to one of their harder interval workouts of the year. They had to try and grind it through and even when the times got tough, I was proud to see them make it. It was helpful to be inspired and motivated by all of our visitors of the day who came back during their spring breaks. From a former runner to the alumni, it was nice for all of them to gather as they watched our athletes work through the difficult moments. This moment is something that will parallel life for them, as life will not always be smooth sailing, but if they keep their mind focused and strong, they will remain standing in the end. These five made it today and I hope that number will continue to grow as we move forward.
