Hey Girl(s),
Just wanted to drop a note and say I understand if you didn't like the pumpkin bread I made. It only took a few hours of my life.
............
Okay, that's a freebie (from today's discussion).
The meet today went well - for those that were able to run. It's still disappointing to have so many girls hurt, but that's the way sports go sometimes. I'll confess, I've never had so many hurt at one time. It can't go on forever though. I have to believe things will come around in the end.
The numbers are easy to read. Danielle and Carrie had terrific first miles, but let the last mile get away. It's getting better every time, and look the times are faster. We just need to tighten up a bit.
Shelby also did well in spite of having another asthma episode. She actually sped up towards the end.
Keeley had her smartest race yet, running splits 15 seconds apart. That's not bad. Of course we can still tweak that, but there's not a lot to complain about here. Good race.
Alli was sick. I should have sat her out, but I didn't. It was a good race regardless.
Diana had a great one, and PR'd. She didn't let the big gaps open up on her splits, either. Getting better!
Bret ran her best race since opening meet. We still need to work on the second mile! It was good to see her racing more like herself.
Locki! I know she hates for us to cheer, but she loves it too. This was a huge drop for her, 25 seconds from last week. Considering this is also a harder course, the drop was all the more remarkable.
Finally, Hanna ran her first race. Clearly there was a big drop-off from mile one to mile two, but hey, it was the first race. After that point, it was an even race. I managed to keep her moving in the final third of the race by employing an old coach's tactic - I lied. She asked how far from the end, and I said, "It's almost over". No, not really from where we were!
One more week of the hard stuff girls, then things get MUCH easier. The hard part's almost over. Hang in there one more week!
