Exercise Type: Run

Comments:
STA summer running consisted solely of GDS athletes today, plus me and Lauren. Even Anthony, who was injured, and initially tried to dissuade the five kids who showed up from running outside in the heat, but they were determined. Natasha Zimmerman, Arjun (a new rising 9th grader), Nathaniel Rosenberg, Hannah Avidon, and Arthur D-V all ran together as a group along with us two assistant coaches. Lauren--and to a large extent, Nathaniel--led us on a rather circuitous route around the neighborhood of the Cathedral, including several laps of a playground that had sprinklers, eventually depositing us in the side yard of the Belew family (Anna was in my grade and Duncan, a track star, was in Lauren's). Play around with the hose of a while splashing each other and cooling off (I think I actually had control of the hose nearly the whole time and would randomly spray people), drinking hose water, and helping Elaine (the mom) carry a glass table that had just been purchased into the house. When we got back, sopping wet, we added in some striders, stretches, and popsicles for good measure.
