You are now starting week eight, you have two to four weeks before cross country officially starts at high schools and colleges around the country. Focus on the workouts, and prepare yourself for the return to your programs. Eight weeks of training should have you on your way for a strong cross country season. If you are like many and are four weeks into training, four weeks is better than going in with no training, so stay focused and prepare for some tough weeks.

He currently manages the content and marketing development of the RunningNetwork, The Shoe Addicts, and RunBlogRun. Of RunBlogRun, his daily pilgrimage with the sport, Larry says: "I have to admit, I love traveling to far away meets, writing about the sport I love, and the athletes I respect, for my readers at runblogrun.com, the most of anything I have ever done, except, maybe running itself." Also does some updates for BBC Sports at key events, which he truly enjoys.
Theme song: Greg Allman, " I'm no Angel."
