After fourteen years I have looked up my old high-school coach. I just wanted to touch base with him and catch up a little. I tracked down an e-mail address for him and let him know what I was up to. Three days later I got a phone call from him and he was out of control with excitement. I had posed a couple questions in the e-mail and he fell right into coaching mode.

I may have opened a pandoras box here. He is a great coach, the best I have ever "run" into but sometimes his methods are diferent. He is intense, a former seargent in the army. We spoke for a while on the phone and when we hung up I was a little scared. He knows what kind of shape I'm in and demands that I take it easy..."You're not 16 anymore"..But he wants me to get back to my full potential. That is the part that scares me. It also excites me as well though. So I think I may be in this for more than just some easy running. We'll see what happens...

As for this weekend it is still on... I'll keep you all posted.

Later-
