ok, well i've got some good ones, and it's not anything retarded like the last few posts.
the thing i hate hearing the most before a race, and i hear it all the time: "Are you ready?" WHAT THE FREAKIN HECK DUDE?!?! DO YOU THINK I RUN 85mpw SO THAT I'M NOT READY?!?! AND WHAT IF I WASN'T READY? I NOW HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT NOT BEIN READY!!!
ok, rant over.
at XC camp this year we decided to write our coache's sayings down. he's a nice guy, but has wierd things to say:
1. I didn't fall of the turnip truck last week...i've been coachin for a while.
2. [in reference to a workout we were going to do the following day]: this will put some beans in your jeans!
3. we have no idea what this means, and i forget the context, but here ya go: "I'm not gonna be a policeman, and grab you by your stock and swivels!"
4. it's your meat and potatoes
5. run like you're churnin butter!
6. that's it girl, run like you're stirrin puddin'
7. do you waffle?
8. you done laughed me out of the barn.
but the best by far was outdoor season 2 years ago (2002)
B: "coach, am i gonna do some 400 repeats today?"
coach: "no B, you're gonna run some 200's. you know, even a good hunting dog will lose his hunting capabilities if he doesn't get out and chase the mulberries once and a while...you're job is to get out there and chase them mulberries today!"
at this point, B and i looked at each other, and lost it, and laughed for the whole afternoon. we still laugh to this day.
hope you enjoyed this as much as i enjoyed reading the others!
