Braves,
We had a successful short week and we were able to get outside on the track. That in itself is reason to celebrate. We can only hope that this warmer weather stays with us so we can continue to get quality work in on the track and on the hills.
A small group went up to the Simplot Games at Idaho State University this weekend and it was a successful and fun trip. I appreciate the guys who went for behaving well and competing with heart. We had a heavy race load for all five guys, but they all competed with everything they had. I hope that this trip continues to grow in the future so that more athletes can experience that environment, track, and team experience. Thank you to Bridger, Marsaylis, Noah, Hunter, and Marcus.
This week will be a good one leading into the outdoor season. I want to make this week one where we can get rest for some heavy legs, avoid impact on the legs, yet still increase strength. Here is what is planned: Monday we will go to the weight room as a team. Tuesday no practice. Wednesday we will do plyos (very limited running). Thursday we will do blocks and some hurdles. Friday no practice. Plan on meeting tomorrow at 2:45. Don't worry if you are inexperienced in the weight room. I will walk you through the techniques so there are no injuries.
I appreciate you all and for the work you have done this winter. Winter can be the most difficult time to motivate yourself (considering the cold and the lack of sunlight - both of which affect mood). Let's make this spring awesome together.
