SMCC XC and Track Distance

Run with purpose. Run with pride.

Merry Christmas to all those Coaches out there. We truly have “A Wonderful Life.”

[Mike @mikeshafer40]

“It’s a Wonderful Life” with @TedLasso commentary is an early Christmas present

So many analogy wins throughout.

Question though: Does the movie make Roy Kent cry?

@NVilleGirlsXC @runswithgsp @nvilleathletics What do you put in the book you give the athletes? Looks like a great idea.

As a senior in HS when the State Meet was over I felt like the sport had ended. I had that same empty feeling at the end of College CC.
Boy was I wrong.
If only I knew then what I know now. RUNNING NEVER ENDS and like the most loyal friendship it is always there when you need it.

Simon showed up to States determined to PR and make all state and when Simon says he’s going to do something he does! He represented SMCC, finishing 27th, All State! Thank you Simon for racing with tenacity and leaving it all on the course every race! @SMCCMonroe @AthleticsSMCC

For a portion of your day or weekend, imagine you are in the 1990s again:
-Do hard things, occasionally feeling discomfort
-Go outside. Spend time in nature.
-Take your online conversations offline.
-Go do things. Real experiences, in the real world, with real people.
