Hard to believe the cross country season is nearing its end. Last night it was time for the "JV Festival" which is basically the JV version of our conference championship. It's been fun watching these young #lancersxc runners develop this year. They are, after all, the future varsity. We didn't win the meet but all showed progress. Now I can't wait for the conference championship meet next week! I had some fun playing around with the live feature on my new iPhone 8. The motion leading up to a freeze frame is so cool! #coachlife #crosscountry #werunforoctober #runblr (at Franconia Park)

And they’re off! Cross country season got underway for my athletes at Lee yesterday. Here the varsity girls are starting. We had a very good day! No hardware to take home but several PRs and a few pleasantly surprising breakout performances. So proud of what this team has accomplished so far and excited about what is yet to come this fall!

And I ran about 8 miles getting from place to place to check on everyone during the races.

Three easy recovery miles at XC practice today, before heading to the #dcarmory to get my packet for Sunday's #navyfivemiler. After that, I was off to @target @mosaicdistrict for meet provisions for tomorrow's #oatlandsinvitational. It's a run-filled weekend, to be sure. Tomorrow my #lancersxc athletes go, then on Sunday I toe the line for 5. My race will be a tune-up/dress rehearsal/reality check for #armytenmiler2017 in a few weeks. I'd like to be at around 33 minutes on Sunday, but I'm not sure my fitness is there yet. Guess I'll find out. #runblr #fitblr #summerrunning

If you've ever wondered what the #lancersxc course looks like on a #tourdefrance style map, well here you go. We had a JV meet there today and I jogged it before anyone else was there, to make sure all the markings were still on the ground. We had a decent meet, and now every runner on the team has gotten their first race done. Later on, it was off to #lifetimefitness for some coaching there and another 4 miles. 7 easy miles for the day. #runblr #fitblr #xc #summerrunning #lifetimerun #easyrun

Photo credit to @trackcam - this is our post meet photo today from #oatlandsinvitational. It was a great meet performance all around. Two individual medalists - one each for boys and girls. And boys varsity finished 18th out of 49 teams. The work these athletes have done is paying off, and we're just getting started! So proud to coach this team! #runblr #fitblr #lancersxc #123lancers456family (at Oatlands Plantation)
