Reason #.... why I enjoy coaching cross country.
Day 1 of practice- "Coach when are we doing intervals, oooh and hills I love them?!?!?"
Day 4 - 6:30 am practice- "Well kids we are doing intervals today." --* Insert groaning and complaints here____________--* Kids were looking forward to class, just so they didn't have to run anymore.
Day 6- Kids are soo talkative. Stretching while attempting to count in several different languages during warm-ups. "Well today we are doing hills! Hospital Hill five times!!" --* Insert groaning and complaints here_________--* Kids were too tired to even count in English while stretching during cool-down :).
Our first meet will be on Monday. Not sure how many kids will be asking to do hills or intervals anymore this season.
Reason #... I can run everyday in the off season and only feel it in my legs once every few days. Something about running with middle schoolers, pushing me and making longer/ better strides. My legs have been sore/ stiff nearly every day. I. LOVE. IT.
