The last two weeks have had some big results for a few of my athletes. Matt ran a PR in the 5k and broke 20 minutes for the first time “since the 90′s”.

Well geez, I’m embarrassed to say that we are approaching the midpoint of the year, and I’m doing a pretty lousy job on some of my earlier stated goals for this year. The specifics of why I haven’t lived up to my goals are relatively unimportant, what’s important is that I failed to make daily …
