A Note from Coach Bo – Room of Requirement

Dear Hawks,
Just a note wishing you all health, happiness and safety during these tough times. Your running during this time should be a comfort to you.  It’s a time to re-connect with why you enjoy your running and to stay healthy young people. It’s time to connect with your team-mates by checking on them and caring for them, while keeping your social distancing. You have technology to stay connected and hearts to use that.
Over the weekend I watched Harry Potter movies I never saw before. In one the students had to teach each other because the teachers were forbidden to teach.  Harry Potter learned of the Room of Requirement. That was where they learned from each other. What was that? Well, according to his friend Dobby, “It is a room that a person can only enter when they have real need of it. Sometimes it is there, and sometimes it is not, but when it appears, it is always equipped for the seeker’s needs”
This time can be your Room of Requirement. It’s a time when your running is about health rather than performing a specific time or distance.  It’s a time when you can increase strength, both physically and mentally. It’s a time when your spirit can grow stronger.
