I arrived back at my apartment just before 8 this evening (after a stop for takeout at B dubs- woo hoo!). My car thermometer still read 81. I coached in shorts and a tank top today- and I have the [dark] pink tan lines to prove it. Man, I missed the sun more than I realized! We had day 1 of time trials at practice today and we'll conclude with the 400 and 800 tomorrow. A local newspaper called this evening for information on the team to print in tomorrow's newspaper. Next Thursday is our first outdoor meet. I guess this is really happening. :)
This week a friend from Hartford City, John, very graciously agreed to drive over to Madison-Grant to coach our throwers. They've improved dramatically since Monday and their power stances are looking great! The glide is coming along and, for the time being, we've put a hold on the rotational spin method for shot. Baby steps. They've all enjoyed having a throws 'expert' hanging around and John has appreciated the chance to be around track and field again. It's a win-win situation.
This week began our 4th marking period. Eight more weeks in the school year. Where in the world did year 2 go?! The TUTF athletes come back from their spring break PCB trip late Easter Sunday. I may have a few of them over that night since dorms don't open again until Monday afternoon.
If the weather remains this beautiful through the weekend I just might have to take my bike out for a nice ride and get some good cycling miles in. And, on a semi-related note, if you're asthmatic, it's probably a good idea to use your inhaler before any given workout... just a thought ;)
