Keeping Track
Keeping Track: Success in Track and Field | Robert C. Smith
39 posts | 1 to read
The man veteran Notre Dame Head Track Coach Joe Piane calls "The Gentleman Coach" shares his insights into how to succeed at track and field and cross country as an athlete and as a coach. Bob Smith has experienced track as a Central High School and University of Notre Dame athlete, then as Riley High School coach and later as Notre Dame assistant coach. From sports washout to the Olympic Trials, from student to teacher and coach, his story shows the triumph of hope and perseverance. The book is more than a memoir. It covers every aspect of the sport from the tribulations of a beginning runner to the insights of a master coach. Many area track athletes and coaches are mentioned and/or pictured in the book. The appendices give statistics for years of area and regional competitions. Joe Piane, awardwinning head track coach at the University of Notre Dame for over 30 years, has written the foreword, giving his views of track as a sport and its potential to change lives, encourage growth, and prepare a person to succeed in life.

So I guess the book I finished today goes on the 2022 list 😕

When I run or walk (or knit) with an audio book I pin the words for the #WinterGames2021 onto my sleeve and use a stitch counter to click when I hear a word from the list. Another good distraction from running. Lol #teamgamesleighers I missed a ton last week so making sure I was more on the ball this week 😂

• I've decided that monthly challenges are not for me and are too stressful for my personality. God bless y'all if you find them motivational, but y'all must not sleep! Lol Despite my best intentions and initial enthusiasm, I can't keep up with the rigor involved. There are too many I want to participate in and as usual, I go all in and get overwhelmed. Oh yeah and this little person always by my side kinda needs me right now so that's life •

Eggs Hugs 🤗 4y
Copwithabook I can‘t do them either. I read based on my quickly shifting moods. Sometimes that mean 10 books a month, sometimes that means 12 books in a year 4y
bibliobliss @Eggs 😉 ty 4y
bibliobliss @Copwithabook Completely understand that. The spontaneous nature of mood reading will kill the potential joy of challenges ☹️ But since coronavirus and the current state of the world, I've been trying to take things day by day and not make many concrete plans. 4y

• Updated #BookRiotReadHarderChallenge2020

Only checked off 1 prompt for this #readingchallenge so far 😬 -- read a sci-fi/fantasy novella (under 120 pages) •

#updates #challenges #readharder #BookRiot #games #goals #readinggoals #readingchallenge #genre #genrereading #inprogress #inovermyhead

SandraPreuss What was the sci-fi/fantasy novella? I've marked down the following as possible choices for that challenge. THE BLACK GOD‘S DRUMS BY P. DJÈLÍ CLARK, THE PAUPER PRINCE AND THE EUCALYPTUS JINN BY USMAN T. MALIK, THE JEWEL AND HER LAPIDARY BY FRAN WILDE, or if the under 120 part isn't mandatory and it just needs to be a novella I want to read All Systems Red by Martha Wells. 4y
bibliobliss @SandraPreuss The sci-fi/fantasy was "Second Variety" by Philip K. Dick 4y

#bestlaidplans ⬇️

The Princess Bride (in progress) should check off several: romance novel / under 280 pages / couple on the cover / three-word title / FREE SPACE and it's #NovelWatchingCrewBOTM for #comedy #humor

Children's book The Finger and the Nose (read) should conquer: title begins with F / red or pink cover

Still sorting out #BlackHistoryMonth reads to see where they will fit

• Decided to include #shortstories in my #Goodreads #readingchallenge and it bumped my total right on up there. My #goal is to read a minimum of 25 short stories this year and I've knocked out 3 so far. I'll need to read at least 2 a month to make it. It makes sense to count them towards my goal if they're in the Goodreads database. Do you include short stories in your total? •

My favorite thing to do is find several prompts of different challenges for each challenge.

bibliobliss @Butterfinger We DO have some challenges in common!! Glad to "meet" you in the NWC group. It's always great to check off boxes for several challenges. Good luck and check in with me as often as you like!! 4y

Geenie How do you sign up for these or find them? 4y
bibliobliss @Yoshi-and-a-book All the challenges here are floating around on Litsy. They all have their own hashtags and can be located in the search function via hashtag. You don't have to sign up for most of these, you just find one you'd like to try and join in. Find the original post, take a screenshot and post on your profile. The only ones I "signed up" for are the #LitsyAtoZ and #NWC #NovelWatchingCrew (which I also found on Litsy and joined the group) 4y
Geenie Thanks so much! @Readage the challenges are so cool 😎 4y

• Surprisingly, I reached my monthly #Bookly goal; in 3 years, I've done it maybe 4 times. Seems I'm semi-serious about knocking out my #readinggoals this year 💪💪 Now the challenge lies in maintaining the momentum. Nothing like having a goal -- however small -- and reaching it •

• Not including today's totals, I'm approximately **12 hours 26 minutes** into the #BooklyReadathon. I'm including daily Bible time because it's part of my New Year's resolutions and obviously counts as reading time. My goal is to reach 20 hours total by the end of the 26th 💪📚 •

KT1432 I have not seen this one before! Is this your own bingo card? Not that I need another reading challenge lol, but I love these prompts!! 4y
TheAromaofBooks @lele1432 I think it's the one from bookishfirst. I've seen this one around a lot, although I have a different first that I think may be newer since it references 2020. I will tag you on the blank copy if I find it!! 4y
bibliobliss @lele1432 It's not mine; I've been looking for the original post on Litsy and can't find it. This is from another user's profile with one space marked out before I copied it for my use. I like the prompts as well and hope I can find the monthly bingo boards for the rest of the year!! 🤞 4y

Each year, I set a few reading goals, but two are always the same: to read 200 books, with 100 of them being new to me. I manage the first goal fairly regularly; I have never achieved the second. I take a lot of comfort in re-reading favorites, which this year totally proved! In 2020, I'll keep striving for the elusive "New 100", and I want to read more works in translation and more authors of color. Here's to a new year of books! #yearinreview

My reading journal had an intense week 😂 I've started recording all the books I buy and the costs. This week was an impressive 24 new books at a total of $181.

SkeletonKey That's a really good idea. I should be doing that since I know I spend way too much. 6y
tricours @SkeletonKey I'm only 3 weeks in but I like it a lot! It's also fun to just have the statistics. 6y
ErickaS_Flyleafunfurled 🙈 ⬅️ that‘s how I track how much I spend on books 6y
