Today, today!!!!!

Well today was a good day, I can't complain. Practice was pretty intresting today. We had some girls run very well today in there "Welcome Back to Practice" workout. We was very pleased with what they did, they now know that this is serious business and the season starts next week for them, so there's no time to slack off during the break. As for the guys, most of them stayed at school during the break and continued to work their tails off, all that did was show the coaching staff that they are about their business and that they wanna suceed this season, losing is a bad habit thats hard to break, well for these young men and women, we don't have to worry about them picking up that horrible habit.

But as usual, there's always one in the group that gotta be that odd ball and not workout during the break, well he got exposed today...BAD!!!! Never seen anyone in my life even with a stomach flu throw up 6 TIMES IN ONE WORKOUT!!! Oh my, my, my!!! Oh he heard it from me and the other coaches afterwards, I guess he thought it was a game when I told him to workout and be back on time..BUT NOOOOOO!!!! He wanted to test the Devil Coach, well he did, and we set his butt on fire today and I bet he won't slack again!

As for me and my training partner, we had a good workout today....even tho it was in the low to high 30's today, it was very productive. Due to use competing this weekend, we cut back on the  intervals. He had 4x300 and I had 4x250. He went 38 three times and 39 flat on the last one, to me thats pretty good considering in was windy and cold as heck out there...(memo to the University, WE WANT OUR INDOOR TRACK BACK ASAP) As for me, I went 32.5 31.3, 29.8, 29.4 all in training flat....I guess I'm in shape..haha! I gotta admit it tho, Leo was running his butt off in those 300m split drops runs, we was working on his last 200m and he was in the 25 lows and he hit 24 high on two of them, which is great. I wanna see him do very well this season, cause he works hard...VERY WORK!!! We push each other very hard, similar to how we would push each other as JUCO teammates years ago. Its gonna be a intresting season, wish us well yall!!!!

Brianna, I remember when we was at outdoor nationals back in 2005 at Mo's afterparty and I tried to speak to you and you blew me off like a was a scrub riding shotgun in my friend's car...I was like "oh hell no" I mean I know I'm top tier star in the game, but geez! LOL!!! And you did it to me a few years earlier when you came to the last chance meet in Ames, Ia (Iowa State) You gonna hug me when you see me girl...hug me tight too!!! lol

Ok, what is this...gang up on Bri day???

Here is what I will say in my defense...ever since I was in college (waaaaay back when) people have always thought I was stuck up. I'm not. But I have never been known to be very friendly at track meets. It happened more back then then it does now, but lots of people like to use meets as a social gathering and too many guys do their best to spit game, etc, etc. I'm not saying that was YOU, I have just always been a bit closed off when I am at meets and doing a job.

But I am sending out an apology for not being friendly...except to Mr. Anonymous because if you can't put your name or anything I am not too concerned with what you have to say.
