A March Miracle

The skies have opened and the rain has stopped.  Some blue can be seen and people got out of their home to look upon the sky as though they had never seen it before.  It was brisk but beautiful.  Today the weather finally cleared.  Today the streets were mostly dry and although it was brisk and cool, the weather was nice.  Everyone showed up to practice and we resumed with our schedule.  I am sure none of them ran while they weren't coming to practice so I had to make today another hard one.  Not everyone finished but those who did probably regret showing up.  I had a few people stop running and instead of chiding them I let them do what the felt.  They know the are shirking the workout because the hid from me.  The girls, who showed up a half hour late, look lackadaisical and complained but eventually I got them to finish the workout.  They probably hate me now but I think they know that I am trying to help them.  I would never force them to do it if I thought that they were seriously injured.  It really doesn't help their argument though when I make them run the last repeat and its the fastest one so far.  This after saying they cant run because they are injured.  They are used to being coddled and that is starting to change with the race coming very quickly.   Hopefully the weather stays clear and they keep showing up.  Slowly they are breaking down mental barriers.

Update: The address I gave is incorrect.  The real one is PO Box 479 Luang Prabang, Laos.
