That was the first and last time I attempted to participate in a school’s sports team. To this day I’m not sure how he ever thought yelling at pre-teens from a van would ever make them care about their team, let alone want to run faster. I suppose these things should be expected when your history teacher is also your track coach. Oh well.

I have come to appreciate running, it does have many benefits. I’ve even gotten to a point where I can sometimes even enjoy it… sometimes.
