This weekend was an off weekend for the cross country team, a rarity for us this early in the season. We generally attend the same meets every year, and most of the meets end up being on the same weekend as they were the previous season. That said, after an especially detailed and wet workout on Friday, it was great to have a day to run only a few miles and recover. The recovery day allowed us to run particularly long on Sunday, with Alex Booth and Anthony Lucero knocking out 20 miles together to lead the team.
These two guys run more than anyone else on the team, waking up early a few times a week to run extra miles together, occasionally with a couple other stragglers (including myself), only to turn around and excel during afternoon practices, often adding on miles at the end of those practices too. For the three years I've been on this team, they've set an example as two of the hardest workers around. Anytime I want to stay in bed instead of getting a few extra miles in the morning, I remind myself that at least one, if not both of these guys, will be there, setting a great example for the rest of us.
