Grand Lake Colorado

Hey team,

Man, what a bummer missing the Corriganville race. I heard from Coach David there were a lot of great races and even some rattlesnake excitement with the youth boys. Great job, way to run hard and fast! I can't wait to hear from each of you when I get back. Or even now if you want to share your great race with me, shoot me an email.

So we are on vacation currently up in the Rocky Mountains at Grand Lake Colorado. What a beautiful place to train. We are at 8300 feet of elevation, at a house right on the lake with amazing right from our dock. Truly blessed. It makes me think of the blessing it is to be able to run. Me and the rest of the Stepan's will be running every day on amazing trails that go around the lake, and through meadows and up steep trails. Most certainly we'll see plenty of wildlife, they say the moose have been around, so that will be cool as well. My hope for each of you is that running becomes such a part of your life you just can't live without. That you'd enjoy it so much, even when you are on vacation you can't help but get out and explore the trails and wildlife around you. You don't have be on vacation though so as you train this week, enjoy running. Each step, each breath, each discussion with your friends, enjoy it!

I will be back in town for this coming meet so I am definitely looking forward to seeing you race again soon. In the meantime, enjoy Coach David's leadership and run hard. With only 4 meets left, there's still a lot of time to make big improvements!

Coach Jeremy
