Walked 7 miles and lifted weights in the Alta weight room while Andy was at wrestling practice.

Abby and Andy have attended Alta 8 out of the last 9 years and Andy is now a senior. It's going to be differnt next year. I have the sense of things winding down career wise. I'm sort of hoping to get the opportunity to coach a cross country team again. I've done lots of learning and reflecting since 2018 and I think I would be better at it now.

Those would be some lucky kids, I hope you get the chance!

I agree with Blake. Do it.

What would you do differently, Rob?

I would be more patient and less focused on "winning".
