The day started off with another battle of wills. The teenager v's the parent. Never a winner there. No matter how much I think I know and strategies to use, there's nothing like a teen to screw it all up. Why do I react so quickly? What is wrong with me when others seem to deal with things better? Did I grow up in an environment that I have just copied or do I have processing problems? All I know is that I don't like it, and I want to change it.
I tried to get to work early again but seems the best I can do is about 8:15, so a 40 minute run is all I will be able to get it before work. There was a decent Southerly through so it was a rather tough effort doing 400's into it by Karaka Bay, but great down wind. I am sooooo fast downwind and downhill :-P
Legs were tired all day, so that is a good sign. We have the kids to coach again tonight, so that is a bit of fun. I do enjoy it a lot. We have a lane booked at one of the pools and I have trainers sorted for the bike side of things. I only hope traffic isn't bad through town tonight after work so I can get there on time. The wind seems to be dying out and the sun seems to be trying to hang around so hopefully the kids won't get too cold on the pool.
Squad was fun. Lots of laughing but we also did some proper skills stuff. I hope everyone is enjoying it and that the parents believe we are doing a good job. There is definitely some talent there, but needs a bit of assertiveness to progress to a higher level. That will definitely come with experience.
After squad, we took Jane's parents to the airport for their trip to England for Christmas. Not much happening this year since I am working through again. That's ok, we'll enjoy ourselves and have the neighbours over for a BBQ. Anyone in town can always pop in too.
