The Saturday morning drill begins at 6 am. BoBo and I are out of bed for another day of football. This morning I let BoBo sleep an extra 20 minutes. I figured that he would need the extra rest for today he would be the one and only QB (Quarter back) for his team. The other QB was injured last week and will be out for 2 weeks time. So after taking him for the, now routine, bagel with cream cheese we arrived at the high school parking lot at 6:40 am.
Instead of hitting the track, I hung with the boys as they arrived one after another. Arriving early is not only routine for BoBo, but also for the rest of the team. They boys were revving up for the game. I found it interesting as it was pretty foreign from the pre-race revving up that I do. By the time the coach arrived, they were all ready to go – but the game was still 1-1/2 hours away. I went out for a quick 3 mile run on the neighboring streets.
It was calm out. The air was cool and the people were still sleeping in their homes. I ran past very few people. I was as relaxed as I would be for the day thanks to a little more changing up my training schedule. By running my 8 mile pace run on Friday, I was free to take it easy today.
