Yesterday I had a very different practice. We did our usual 15 minute warmup run and then our rope stretches. Our coach then let our team do a 'cookie run'. The store which we ran to was about two miles away. We ran there at a pretty easy pace. Usually you have to buy the cookies, so a few people did different runs for some reason. When we arrived Noah, (a team member) who was related to the owners of the store, talked to the owner. The owner then announced that because of our hard run (we all were really sweaty because it was really humid), we all could have a free cookie! They had amazing cookies! Homemade because it was an organic store! Mine was a chocolate mint chip... superb taste.
When we ran back, Jordan, Brandon and I ran at a hard, good pace. That was pretty much our workout. Jordan worked on hurtles, Brandon and I worked on block starts until everyone else arrived. We all were just chilling, talking, then Brandon brought out his soccer ball so us soccer guys juggled around for a bit. Then my coach had one of our players drive their car on to the starting area for the 110m hurtles. The reason she had him do this was to blare some music... because she wanted us to do a dance party to loosen up from our previous meet. It was quite hilarious to watch! I didn't join, I continued with soccer... but then our coach made all of us join in their dance party. It was really weird, but really fun(ny)! So that sums up my practice. More like a party to me. Though: free cookies, soccer and dancing! How can that not be called a party?
