soreness & Santa
Yep. Still here. I just haven't made time for blogging the past couple of weeks. I plan to do that more often in the next few weeks. (I probably won't be joining the March Slice of Life Challenge this year, but I will post more regularly.)
Track practice started Monday. Middle school track. Our first meet is something like April 5. We're hard core over at ACMS, that's for sure. And, while I don't do the work out with the kids and I do still run in the morning, I have been doing the warm-up with them. It's about 45 minutes long, including a half-mile jog and lots of dynamic stretching. After two days, I am so sore I can hardly move. So sore. My muscles will work out of it in the next couple of days, but those heel walks and lunges are killing me right now. I'm pretty sure it's all Brad can do not to laugh at me when I get up.
One of my students started the week by asking me if I'm scared of Santa. "You know, he's a big, fat man who sneaks into your house at night!" she proclaimed. I said no. And every day since then she's asked, "Are you afraid of Santa yet?" Still no. I'm not sure where that came from. Middle School.
In other news that's not really newsworthy... Basketball is over. My mind has been about a day ahead all week long, which makes the week really long. State assessments start on Tuesday. I've been plugging away at my classes. I made this awesome presentation on Patricia Polacco (yep, I get to take awesome classes like Resources & Services for Children). Go ahead, click the link and check it out.
I'll be back soon. I hope. What have you been up to lately?
