Notes
Decent run. Took a little while to get going.
Here's where I am at: we have four more weeks of school. Attendance rates are going down because 1. Students were not attending initially, 2. Senioritis is in full force. 3. Students do not want to. I am finding it difficult to maintain the effort I am putting forth into my instruction mainly because of my own ego at this point. If I am being honest with myself, I know that had my senior track season been cancelled, I probably would not have done anything for school (especially since I was only in AP English).
I am really trying to focus on the fact that there are 10-12 people continually showing up every day and if they are there, then I need to be there for them to the best of my ability. The same goes for running right now. I am not sure how many people on the team are running these days - even the logging is tailing off, but I will continue to trust that by putting the resources out there and continuing to do my business, students and athletes will advantage of that on their own time, which is what I have advocated for from the beginning. It is just a really hard message to maintain for 11 weeks. Writing this down allows me to reinforce my belief in this effort that it is worthwhile. And to remember that if this is the worst things will be, then I am doing just fine.
Aside from that, my running is going really well. My feet are not quite where I want them to be, but they feel better than before and I really am enjoying putting in the miles right now even without a long-term goal clearly in focus at the moment.
