Numbers

Today I did a morning run for the 31st consecutive day which breaks last year's high of 30 days. I also had a "PB" for the 3.5 course that I run every morning. I knocked off 14 seconds from last year's best time.

I've yet to run in a race this year (Zero) but hope to get into one before the end of the month. Last year my first race was on July 4th but this year I didn't feel I was in racing shape at that time.

There are 19 days left until I hopefully meet the 10 girls who committed to running Cross Country for E-City this fall. If 4 or 5 of those girls actually show up, I'll be satisfied.

Look's Promising

I had my Cross Country pre-summer meeting at the E-City School today. Amazingly, ten girls attended. There were 7 Seniors-to-be and 3 Sophomores-to-be. All seemed genuinely interested when I gave them their summer running schedule. I've been at this point before (three times) and I can only hope that this time the team and the season become reality.

We set up an August 3rd date to meet in order for me to determine if the girls have been training during the summer. If so, I'll notify the AD and ask that the team be entered in the school's athletic conference and to start looking at uniforms.

Next week, I will also submit my letter of resignation as X-C coach at N-City School.
