Track
So, Happy December, Christmas is approaching, but right now is track season. I'm doing sprinting and hurdles. I'm not very good with sprints, but i think i'm starting t get the form down with hurdles, and i've been really enjoying it! It's especially fun doing it with my friends, not and not just for the endless supply of entertainment but for advice too! it's always good to have people watching and ready to help you improve.
Speaking of people providing advice, my coach is okay but i LOVE the boy's track coach. He'll always come over to the hurdles when we're working on them and take a lot of his time helping us with form. He pulls each of us aside and tells us what we have to work on, and then shows us drills. And he isn't even our coach! it's really helpful, especially when our real coach didn't even make an attempt at explaining how to do hurdles. Yeesh.
Well, anyway, it's pretty painful having track 6 days a week (horrible shin splints, knee problems) and i think it's that way for everyone, but i think it'll get better after maybe one more week. and hopefully i'll get a little faster with all this running, because i'm so slow!
