New Team in Town

I found out a few days ago that Coach Dan Green just started a new track & field club sponsored by Adidas. Coach Green is in several coaching and athlete halls of fame and was the head coach at The Woodlands High School in The Woodlands, Texas, where I live. For those that don't know, last year ESPN rated The Woodlands High School as the top overall athletic program in the country. Coach Green won the very first Houston Marathon and has also been a USA team coach all over the place including a trip to China a few years ago. He retired after 30 years and his son is now the coach and carrying on the family tradition of excellence.

I was told last week that he wanted to see me about a "new project". Today I saw him at the track and he invited me to join his new club, Team Green/Adidas of The Woodlands, and of course I accepted. We will keep The Woodlands Pole Vault Club for our insurance and for the other guys but I'm happy to be on board with Coach Green and Adidas.

Found My Lucky Penny!!
As I was coming out of my guitar lesson yesterday and right outside the driver side door was a very nice heads up penny, so I grabbed it to take to Albuquerque. Of course I'll need far more than my lucky penny but you have to take every edge you can get.

Today was a Sprint/Pole Drill with ankle weights, alternated with hill/sled day. Everything felt very good for 10 days out. I'm out tomorrow but will lift before I go. Have a great evening. Bubba
