I’m reading a biography of Woodie guthrie right now and Leadbelly’s description of The Blues nearly jumped off the page: “The blues is like this. You lay down some night and you turn from one side of the bed to the other, all night long. It’s not too cold in that bed, and it ain’t too hot. But what’s the matter? The blues has got you and they want to talk with you.” [...] [...] Damn, I think Eric got it right again. I am restless.

Part of what you're suggesting is a bit of an attitude change in the program, which is not entirely mine, but I do believe you're right. As the season is over, I'm not sure I want to give her a "walking is unaaceptable" message right now, but as our spring program gets rolling, I will be sure that message comes through loud and clear, and not just to her. Joan,

Is that what you're feeling? Maybe runners are wired that way. And for those who are, a lot of life doesn't allow for it: you can't make your kids grow up faster or slower (or even go to bed on time, in my case). But I'm sure you'd be a swell teacher and a terrific HS coach ( . . . I had a brief gig as a HS teacher and coach, and aside from the early 80's private school starvation wages, it was a great time). Good luck. Will read with interest. (Note, I’m trying to write this without sounding too much like Master Po in Kung Fu): Reading this, the principal impression poking through is restlessness.
