Now I hope I can do the same thing (Biladeau) did because I know it helps the team to have someone meet a high standard (aka fast time). I want guys like Connor (Revord) to have high expectations and keep that thinking going.

(Biladeau) had such a high standard for what he wanted to accomplish and I know that helped me improve as much as I did,

I ran about 60 miles a week over the summer and I'm putting in about 50 miles a week now. So when I start tapering toward the end season it should be interesting.

It's going to be tough without having that one awesome guy out there in front for us, but we'll make do. I think we all agree that we have more team unity this season and we're all very good friends. Win or lose, that always makes things easier.

This is probably the most distressing of all, because there was a great deal of hope throughout the department that we were going to be able to find this child safe and sound,

They really went all out this year. I hope they do it again next year.
