Today our first "official" practice (as defined by the AIA). If someone wasn't there (Issac) it was most likely my fault. Official means that I can "make" you attend. Which also means that missing practice can have consequences. In most other sports coaches will "punish" their athletes by making them run. However, I'll punish you by not allowing you to run. You should love to run (or at least, there should be something you love about running).
For those of us who have been running all summer and been keeping their miles where they should be (and I'm guessing this is a minority of us), then this week will be a "down week." This should be a week where we spend more time than we have this summer working on upper body strength, stretching and strides. Please help me with this. I'm going to busy again tomorrow in meetings and then after school on Wednesday, there's another meeting, while you'll be out practicing. I don't need to be there watching over you every second. If you want to be great, you'll have to do all the "little things" on your own. SO DO IT!!!! And if you don't know what the "little things" are, you better ask, because you'll never be great.

(When I originally posted this last night, I said, "meet on the stage at 3:20"). NOT! We'd like to run in the morning before school. Our first full day of school, so I want to make sure I get you fresh. After school, go home, do your homework, and go to sleep... or watch a little olympics... maybe synchronized diving will be on again, oooh, wasn't that fun?
