This morning was a great run, about 36 minutes around the track. Then I did 3-4 strides on the football field. I'm going to run a 5K downtown on Saturday, so I'm trying to be in top form. This follows 31 minutes down 218 toward downtown on Friday after school. I'm in a good groove. My legs aren't fully cooperating with me -- soreness in the Achilles, left knee, etc. But you know what? I'm 48 years old, trying to turn around the inertia. I was somewhat inactive with running for a good while. I'm probably doing something that is not natural on my legs, but it is going fine.
I did not get the Fairfield job and will not be a head cross country coach at a high school this fall. I am going for the Franklin MS job, which I hope to find out about on Monday, or I will help Coach Harte at Wash. Either way, I will be coaching runners in the fall. This was my idea when I decided to become a teacher -- being a coach is part of it. I have a passion and an expertise as a runner, and I want to share that with young runners. I will build my program piece by piece until I do get a head high school position.
