"Goofus Eats Like a Pig..."

As an (assistant) high school coach, I spend quite a bit of time reminding athletes to warm-up or cool down and to eat in a manner that prepares them for success in their events.

In the true spirit of Goofus and Gallant, upon finishing the Freezeroo 5-miler this morning, I lingered and cheered briefly, jumped in my car, made a bee-line home and had a "bunch" (okay, truth is I have good reason to be embarrassed by the actual number!) of store-bought Christmas cut-out cookies... it seems that the older (dumber?) I get, the more often I find myself thinking as I offer advice "do as I say not as I do."

There goes that "Coach of the Week" award!
