Ran solo for a few miles while the kids warmed-up, pre-drills. Watched while the kids did hurdle mobility stuff, then did a main a run afterward. I decided to run with a group of "subvarsity" girls. Could NOT believe how much ass they were hauling. A mile in, when they "stopped to stretch", I let 'em have it a bit, telling them they had to run slower on this 'recovery day'. A couple got annoyed, but oh well.

I wound up splitting off with one girl, Morgan, who's a senior. She's a Chinese-American, who - besides not having a left hand (haven't asked about that yet) - told me that she was abandoned as a baby and grew up her first 5.5 years in an orphanage in China before being adopted to the US. Damn, what a story! She was telling me of her memories as a little girl, and how she isn't ready to go back a visit "those memories".

Besides that, we chatted about a ton of stuff. She's super talkative and was asking me a million questions, which was fun. Damn, what a great experience! This is why I'm coaching track...

Hung out with the kids in the gym, stretching/foam rolling afterward.
