“No matter your speed and regardless of your gender, there’s something universal and authentic about the look of determination when you’re trying your best. You can’t fake it.”
“We can be an instant-gratification culture, but I’ve had to cultivate a long-term approach to my career,” @SaraHall3 said. “I figured as long as I could keep working on my craft, chipping away, finding joy in the mundane, then that had to be enough.” nytimes.com/2020/12/26/opini…

The bus ride to the meet is so much different than the bus ride home

Cross country is filled with the weirdest, nicest, funniest, most athletic, and toughest group of people there are

If you say things like “my body always breaks down when I run more than XXX miles”. What is your solution? Is it to keep your mileage below that magic number or is it to learn why your body is limiting your improvement? An open mind almost always leads to a positive change.

There are high school coaches making $0 doing July workouts with no guarantee they will have a season. I had 2 great parents and my coaches played a huge role in my upbringing. Coaches are more important today and they take a lot of grief. My hat is off to my colleagues! – at Clyde, OH

The rumor of fall and spring sports switching is not true. We have been assured by the OHSAA that this is not an option regarding the fall and spring sports. Currently the OHSAA is working on the preseason Cross Country meet for the 2020 season with the COVID 19 guidelines.

And then, one ordinary day you’ll head out for a run. As you’re plugging along you’ll get lost in a thought and lose track of time. When you snap out of it -no matter how long it was- you’ll realize you were running effortlessly. It’s a magical feeling that’s earned, not gifted. – at Michigan, USA

I saw 5 different HS Cross-Country teams out running this morning. 100% of them had Coaches wearing a mask and all teams were NOT running in large groups. I now see that this sport can be achieved in a safe manner and allow everyone to feel comfortable. #CrossCountry2020
