Yesterday, I realized as soon as I woke up (because I HAD to go in to work WITHOUT students) that I am really having a difficult time with this EXTREMELY cold weather. My WHOLE body hurt and was crazy stiff. It was SO difficult to move.
I was nervous for “Walking Wednesday” because of how my body was reacting to the temperature. Phil stretches me out and then Lindsay comes over and we started walking. Or just got a flag. False start. Phil stretched me some more and then I tried again. I got 7 yards. Then 5. Then 2. Then 3. I originally thought I had 22 yards and Phil thought it was 17. I thought about it and then realized in the middle of last night ( I woke up because I was warm under all of my blankets) that Phil IS right. I don’t think I could get 8 yards on my 4th down. What can I say? I teach reading! Math is HARD!!! I’m going with Phil’s ruling on the field because 4th and 3 is A LOT different from 2nd and 8!
I punted. I don’t have much faith in my O-line. One day I will. Soon. But it did feel really GOOD to get at least ONE conversion! I was satisfied. I want to be walking NOW (see?! REALLY bad at the patience part!) but Phil told me as we went out to my car – YOU’RE WALKING!!! True. Chris told me today before I started that it takes a LONG time. He said that I have to be patient. I will chalk “Walking Wednesday” #15 as a lesson in patience. I REALLY stink at these lessons!
TOTAL YARDAGE = 156 and 2 steps
