If there is one thing that I hate more than Mischler is the thought of running in the snow. And let's face it, to say you've been training all winter long does not have the same ring as saying that you've been training all summer long. Plus it is way less fun to run during a winter night than to run a few miles durng the summer nights. And I'm not alone in this thinking and that is why we can point to three groups of people during winter training:
- People who will run everyday and be in shape come January (as a senior and team captain, I should be in this group)
- People who won't run and say they did (this is me)
- People who won't run and instead will be playing a sport. "Dirk" is a part of this group
But coming back from winter break will then result in the following things during workouts:
- Some people will actually be pushing for PR's and a chance to score at conference in May
- I will be doing what I do best, leading my troops from the back of the pack
- Or one lucky individual will be riding the pine during the upcoming basketball season.
But the one lucky thing about winter is that it ends and people have the chance to redeem themselves, except for the ones who prefer to be dunked on during the month of February instead of running in indoor races...their failure continues until the summer. And as the weeks turn to months and the months turn to seasons they find instead of leading from the back of the pack...they are the back of the pack.
