Absurd Disciplines – JOHN HINES

https://coachhinesblogs.com/2014/07/16/absurd-disciplines

Handcrafted Poetry and Other Musings. We’ve been meeting 5 or more days/week for 5 weeks now throughout the summer in preparation for the upcoming Cross Country season. As I stood in front of the 16 boys in attendance this morning at 6:15 am after they had run their 2 lap Kenyan shuffle , I was inspired to expound a bit on today’s quote of the day.

Skeptic to Pirate! – JOHN HINES

https://coachhinesblogs.com/2014/04/27/skeptic-to-pirate

Handcrafted Poetry and Other Musings. Okayshe didn’t twist my arm or bribe me in any way, but she did make it possible for the two of us to attend this Saturday’s Teach Like a Pirate. Seminar with Dave Burgess in Orlando when she registered us a few weeks before the event and told me we were going.

A pirate’s life for me!
