Track Coach?

DFJH Track Coaches

Anyone out there who knows me knows that I don't like to run. Ever. That didn't save me when I was asked to help assistant coach the track team - long distance. Scary, right? Well, needless to say, I signed up with a good attitude knowing that I was going to earn a few extra bucks, meet some new great students, and hey, get in shape! All of the above happened :)

We have had a great season, bundling up in windy snow and rain storms and enjoying sunny days. I can honestly say that I have LOVED this experience, and am SO PROUD of my track kids! They worked hard and did a fabulous job. We had incredibly fast sprinters (#1 boy in the district on the 100m!) as well as strong endurance distance runners. I really can't complain! And what am I doing with my "few extra bucks"? Caribbean here I come!!! So worth every minute, and hey - I might even sign up again next year.... maybe :) Go DFJHSTAF!!!
