New Years Eve

coach mike — Sat, 31 Dec 2011 17:47:27 +0000

The eve before the end of the year. The end of 2011 and eve before the beginning of 2012. So what has 2011 left us with? Met some cool people in 2011. Some new cool people. I notice that this Facebook thing is still going strong. I figured once I got a Facebook page the thing would shut down! Did I ever tell you the time I bought the new big dish satellite thing. Was going to get to see HBO and all those pay for channels for free! Couldn’t wait, got it all set up and zeroed in on that big bird in the sky…………….and less than one month later everything was like eggs……….scrambled! That’s my luck…..so at least Facebook is still going……..which is a good thing …………I think? People put a lot of weird stuff on there. Back to the cool people………….coolest new person I have met so far and this is a no brainer is…………..drum roll please…………….ta ta ta ta ta ….not sure that would be the sound of a drum roll? Coolest new person Eliza Lynn Hargis Brown! I had to add that Hargis in there for fun! For the one or two people that stumble on this blog site by accident (which brings our daily visits up to 4 when we get you two extra) is my first grand child, born September 18th, 2011 in NY,NY. Coolest new person. Ok back to others? New? Lets think………..oh I guess some of those Altamont people would qualify………..(smiling) So who is cooler? Mallory, Leslie or Mike? Just seem like a cool family. Other cool people Keatyn is cool. So is Elizabeth. Am going to go with Trisha as well. Just seem like a good cool bunch of new young ladies on the cross country team, just to stay out of trouble, they joined a group of cool ones as well. I would have to say Josh has cool family as well. Anybody that has a mother that sells wall paper is cool. Not sure how I got on this track ? I was going to say thought pattern but I didn’t want to confuse Mallory. I had (really nothing to do with me) three girls that made straight A this semester and one guy, that was cool for 2011. Lets list the names……….Mallory, Keatyn, Elizabeth and Josh. Also Chelsea, Trisha and Thomas had real strong semesters. So we should have a All American Academic team on the women side and at least two individual men and those 3 straight A cool girls. How many times can I use cool in this post? Is there blog police? Some good things happen 2011 and at least one great thing! That trip to New Mexico went to fast, we needed to be down there an extra day, I think with the proper rest, we might of, we could of……………no we couldn’t of, no way. (I was going to say win the whole thing!)

Greatest musical group of all time? Three Dog Night or Chicago?

The Cardinals won the 2011 World Series that was cool! Albert Pujols left the team for the sunshine of Southern California, not a cool 2011 thing.

What about that Arab Spring?

Well I have rambled enough for now…………2011 is almost in the books, in truth, 2011 has been a rough year on a lot of Americans. Employment is high, foreclosures are high. When will things get better? When will the “club” in Washington, DC figure anything out? When will they focus on what is for the good of the people of this great country? If I remember, seems to me that were elected to serve, to serve the people. Maybe they should look up the word serve and read how Webster defines the term. But they probably won’t have time, too busy trying to get reelected or to make sure they have a good pension and health coverage.

Sorry not sure where that came from………..

Learn from 2011 and strive to make 2012 the best ever! Have a kind word for all you meet.

December 17th Bell Ringing

coach mike — Sun, 04 Dec 2011 17:25:05 +0000

The church I attend in Salem is in charge of lining up bell ringers for December 17th. Thought this could be a good chance to pick up some community service hours and do something worthwhile. Let me know if you can help and I will sign us up for for some hours. First Christian Church would be delighted to have our help.

After over 30 years

coach mike — Thu, 27 Oct 2011 15:02:16 +0000

After over 30 plus years of coaching (and years of playing games) and I still get nervous and sick at my stomach before the big events! What the heck………..get a grip! I love it!

The Night Before

coach mike — Wed, 26 Oct 2011 23:49:43 +0000

Tis the night before……………………..never mind not going to do that. Here we are, the season just seem to have started yesterday and we are down to two races. Seems like we have not raced in months. Well its been weeks and some of you have not race since Louisville. The weather should be ok. The course is flat and fast but with a bunch of turns. The women race at 4:15 and the men at 4:40. Good luck to all. Lets have a great race. I think we have had some good workouts, you just have to believe in and trust your training. Tomorrows race is about beating people and its not beating them in the first mile. You have to be tough during the middle miles. The women tough in that second mile, the men the middle two miles. Once again its about beating people. As I have told you, everybody is important, 1 through 7 (6 on the men side). On the women side we have to pack in front of some the other teams number 3 runners, but its about beating everybody you can. There is no pressure on us, no excepts us to do anything. Just race to beat people. Remember ladies, we are not looking for angels! Men we need to race like devils. Its been fun and we still have fun in front of us! Remember just race……………………………………to beat people!
