Welcome to all my new friends. For those that don’t know me yet, I’ve spent my entire adult life teaching school and training athletes of all ages. Some have aspired to become college or professional athletes and some are like me and happy to run in the middle or even back of the pack. My husband teases me often saying all I do is play with kids all day, but one thing we both agree on is while I am helping these young athletes make their lifelong memories, I get to keep a piece of each and every one.
Today was one of those special memory making days for a couple of 6th grade boys and for me 😊.
Early this morning, we had practice. I sent kids on different routes according to their speeds and abilities. The trails where we run allow me to constantly run into all the groups of kids at different times during our workout. Well, today there were a group of 3 6th grade boys who were lagging behind, like way behind. Hmm…apparently they have been playing more video games than actually running. Finally, they reached me and were walking! I said, “come on guys you have to at least stay with me!” As we ran together I told them they should be able to keep up because one, I am slow! Two, I am older than them! To which one little boy replied, “ My dad is older than me and he is much faster!” I said, “ well that is different lol, how old do you think I am.” One boy, said “I guess 42.” The other said, “yeah, mid 40s” I said, “thank you, I am flattered but I am 51, to which the first little boy replied, “WOW!! THAT’S OLD!!! 🙄😐😬”Um….it’s not that old! Like 80 is old not 51!!!” 🙄
