D.E.S.I.R.E.

1 word
5 letters.
2 syllables

This cross country season, it's a word definitive of our team. 
Definitive of our dream 
to win. 
to return
to our former strength
our former place at the top. 
It's about time. 

Desire. 

It's a word that inspires the question "How bad do you want it?"
BUT 
taken further, it inspires another question:
HOW HARD ARE YOU WILLING TO WORK FOR IT?

because all the desire in the world
all the fight
all the want
all the thirst
cannot be quenched without putting in the work.
100%
all the time
day in, day out
24/7
It's the diets
the core work
the completed workouts
the rest
the ice baths
the stretches
the mentality
all to back up one inkling of a feeling- that urge to win. 
To prove that we are the best of the best. 

And I can't wait to bring that back. 
It's been a while, for me, since I've felt such a strong urging and will in my running
guess that's what 9 years of a sport does to you
but the fire is back
and stronger now, than ever. 

How hard are YOU willing to work?
'Cause I promise you, I'll work harder.
