Dreamers of the Day

This, therefore, is a faded dream of the time when I went down into the dust and noise of the Eastern market-place, and with my brain and muscles, with sweat and constant thinking, made others see my visions coming true. Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds wake in the day to find that all was vanity; but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act their dream with open eyes, and make it possible. - T. E. Lawrence

You will find the XC schedule link posted on the left hand side of the page along with a link here.

The first week of practice isn't over and I am getting excited about this fall. Today we had 8 guys at practice and hopefully there will be a few more freshman next week after school gets out. It was hot out to start the week, but hopefully most of that is behind us for a while. As a quick aside, it is very important for the guys to keep up on their hydration all summer. I know I get busy and neglect to eat/drink enough (and properly at that) sometimes.

We are currently just logging miles. We will start to do maybe one workout a week once we get into July, but the key for now is just to run. Some of the guys who took more time off than others are noticing that they lost some of their fitness that they built up during the season. The quote I started the post with is quite true. The race for the VISC championship has already started, and we are doing our dreaming during the morning. By the end of October, if we stay true to our plan, we will be dangerous out on the course. I also feel some of the guys might have to start thinking about how high they can place as well. It is possible we might have 2-3 guys in the top 10 if things went really well in my opinion. It should be interesting to come back and read this post in November.

The first flapjack Friday is this Friday!

It is a great day to be a knight!
