We hosted a meet today for 3 other middle schools. I went to the school early to mark the course and set-up. I am counting this prep work and the meet itself as a workout. Yes I am desperate to fill my log with workouts, but yes it really was a workout. Pushing the 4 wheel chalker around the mile loop of grass and gravel put me in a full sweat and I actually felt my legs and glutes being worked.
For each of the races, girls and boys, I ran like the maniac coach I am from point to point on the course cheering the first to the last runner. So much so that I almost logged this as a run, but could lie to myself that much.
My kids ran tired today, it is the exact middle of the season and they are feeling it. Our course is also .25 miles longer than the other course we have been on, and at race pace that is a long way for 12-13 year old bodies. I will make sure to talk to the kids about building than tapering to the best performances at the district meet at the end of the season.
