Shout Out Saturday

I posted to Instagram with my final installation of our spirit week but wanted to share here in case you don't use that platform:

I can't remember a time when I didn't measure time by which running season it was.  Even in times when I haven't been actively running, the knowing that it was cross country or indoor or outdoor track or fall marathon season or summer training has been an anchor.  So a shout out to running, the reason my husband and I met.  Shout out to the teams I'm blessed to coach and the athletes who make me want to be the best coach I can be.  Shout out to the friend who brought me to coaching and shares the XC adventure with me.  And always: shout out to my family who bring laughter, love, curiosity and joy to all of our adventures together (even when we are stuck at home).

Amidst all the uncertainty swirling today, I am filled with gratitude.  And when we can't run and train together, this gratitude and the knowing that we will one day be running and training together again are an anchor for me now.  Thank you, Bobcats.
