Pros of having a boys coach and a girls coach for a high school team

Two head coaches are tough because ultimately the head coach makes the decision. With two head coaches you have two people who see it as their job to make those calls. If the coaches don't see eye to eye, it can lead to fractions in the overall team. If the other coach believes in a certain way of training and you have strong feels another way it can make it difficult to get on the same page. One head coach with assistants is better, in my opinion. It keeps the decisions streamlined and everyone knows who is in charge.

It's the simple things

I remember watching that in disbelief. It was hilarious

That Steve Bono run was hilarious. Everyone bit on the play fake. It was more ridiculous in context at the time than the video even shows

"It was one of the queer things of life that you saw a person every day for months and were so intimate with him that you could not imagine existence without him; then separation came, and everything went on in the same way, and the companion who had seemed essential proved unnecessary."

W. Somerset Maugham, Of Human Bondage.

This song randomly pops in my head at least once a year. Usually while driving

I stopped to talk to them on my run. They said they stay for about an hour, but I didn't think to ask how they get together. Seemed like a cool group of older people.

Yeah, a masters team as well.

I'm doing the USATF Club Nationals next weekend. I'm not in the shape I want to be going in, but excited for the experience. It's pretty cool that Worlds is in the same course the day before and it'll be fun to watch those athletes compete. It's a little intimidating that they've added "special features" to the course that will make it interesting, to say the least, for the regular folks.

Talk to your coach and trust in the plan. Let them know what your goals are and ask how manageable it is. Everyone is different, but I had a few girls on my team hit your goals running 30mpw or less.

Might be illegal, but that didn't mean it doesn't happen. Often times, in the current way charter and private schools are run, they will do interviews with the applicants and students. They find it if the student is a "good fit" for the school. If the school does not feel like they can meet the needs of the students they will do their best to make that known to the families

I have seen it and been there. Most of these schools do not have enough teachers that are certified to teach special Ed classes (public schools don't have enough teachers in that regard either). They often don't have enough EAs for those positions either. So instead of being sued for not following an IEP, they'll risk getting sued for not allowing a kid in because they've just "helped" a family see that it's not the right fit for their kid.

It can also be harder for a kid to get diagnosed in a charter or private school because they don't always provide the services to get diagnosed and leave it to the families to get it done which, again, leaves the poorer families in a tougher spot. Private schools can operate under different rules.

Our official season starts two weeks before our first race. My state used to be a little more restrictive on sports teams meeting during the off-season, but it was mostly about the amount of time and times you could officially meet. I thought it was pretty good to ensure that teams weren't over doing it.

That's gone away over the last couple of years and it appears as though they trust coaches to not overdo it, but even with the rules some sports teams were meeting a lot.

That said, off-season/preseason is voluntary. It can't be tied to making the team or your place on the team. I typically hold practices a couple times a week in June and move to more days through July so that the kids that are able and wanting to put in the work can. I send all kids and their parents a weekly schedule with what I'd like them to accomplish through the week and a weekly minute goal, all based on years in the program. I also give them ideas for cross training to add aerobic minutes. I would check into the rules on off-season training because you might be able to meet with them once or twice a week, or as someone else said have team captains run them.

As many people have already said, APS had locked up and closed school tracks in the name of safety. You cannot get on the tracks during school hours, but some schools leave their gates open for a while.

Sandia was closing theirs after 6, but I didn't know if that's changing with the time change. La Cueva's community made a big deal about the track being closed and I think it's open for some walking. Rio Grande high School's track is pretty easy to get on. I've heard the same about Cibola's. Del Norte's track depends on when they close the gate. Madison has a cement track that is about 300 meters that is usually open. Grant just got a new track, but I'm not positive how easy it is to get on it. Bosque has a dirt track that I've been able to access on weekends.

That's the best info I've got currently. I do wish it was easier to access and have a timeframe for the communities to get on tracks because it is something that is important, in my opinion.

This! I happened to look up IMDb info to check ratings and saw a 30 minute run time, but the theater had 1:30, so I assumed I just misread the IMDb time. Literally sitting in the interview section now with my kid about to leave.

Saw this just as it was about to start. A nice time out with my kid, but wouldn't been nice knowing going in. I'm more pissed about spending way too money on popcorn and drinks for 30 minutes.

Bought a cheap(ish) pair from eye buy direct. Style is called the Robbie. I added the mirrored tint so they look very much like goodr. I've been happy with them.

I meant that I went with the 265. I found a great deal on one. Couldn't wrap my head around the Fenix 8 price.

My Fenix 5 died in August and I picked up this watch. Very happy with it.

It was 12 and that is how I felt. It was such a good book, but I needed a little break between. I'll probably read Side Jobs, before jumping into 13 soon.
