Monday - Friday - Once again nothing significant to speak of because of track practice.
Saturday - 3 miles around school. Felt decent.
Sunday - 10 miles w/athlete. I wasn't planning on going this long as I never thought my back would hold up. We were supposed to run an hour, but there was a little bit of a communication snafu. My athlete took my watch and ran ahead after 19 minutes of him graciously running at my pace. I told him to turn at thirty minutes and that I would be following him on the straight out and back. He kept going and going. He thought I meant an additional 30 minutes! Thankfully, he only kept it up for 25 minutes and figured he had gone far enough. He was no worse for the wear, but I was really struggling at the end. Oh well, beautiful day and I made it. He looked great. Now we just need a meet to not get cancelled like the first two.

First week of April
Monday - Friday. Nothing exciting to speak of. Coaching is in full swing. I didn't do much running with the kids. Probably < 2 miles. I have been seeing hundreds if not thousands of Canada geese flying up the CT River. A lot are landing in the open patches of river. The highlight was a flock of snow geese with two in the blue phase that flew over the school. I've been seeing the eagles at practice too. The killdeer are back around campus which is a sure sign of spring. The birding is great, but I need to squeeze in more miles during practice.
Saturday - 2 miles on the HRT. I felt miserably stiff during the run. I saw an otter on the ice. There were a lot of ducks and possible 1,000 + Canada geese on the open patches of water. I might have to go back with my binoculars today. I did a good stretching routine after the run, and I am feeling looser as I type this. Hopefully, I'll feel up for a longer run tomorrow.
Sunday - 4 miserable miles on HRT. My back started bothering me after about 15 minutes. I was reduced to a hobble for the last two miles. I did see a lot of ducks - hooded mergansers, common mergansers, and ring necked ducks.
