Bates-Plus + Morningstar

February 28, 2018 (Afternoon)

Exercise Type: Run

Weather: on and off drizzle

Comments:
Day 3 of practice: easy run plus weights. I ran with Hunter and Callan, fairly easy. Callie ran with Maddy and Daelyn...until her foot began to bother her. Once CA peeled off, those girls started to majorly grind. It took 'til about a mile to go to catch them. The other kids ran in more relaxed pace groups, and we had some new kids today (Amar, Omani) which was great!

Fun to chat with Hunter and Callan, "geeking" a bit about track and upcoming meets. Glad to finally get to do that.

Weights: while in the weightroom, I talk to Daelyn (our senior, and perhaps our most problematic-but-"good kid" on the team). She claims she has to work EVERY FRIDAY (and miss half-Wednesdays) in March. I delicately told her that it's team policy she can only miss TWO practices, as work is unexcused.

By evening, this set off a shit-storm that involved us (Callie and me), Daelyn's mom (who is "an ultrarunner", yet super-difficult to deal with), Gary the HC, the AD, our Principal, and even Daelyn's goddamn soon-to-be JC coach.

Ridiculous. You can't just decide to work and not attend practice. Period.

We'll see what happens.
