A Rainy Day

After school I went to football practice. It was cloudy and somehow it felt humid like if you were out of a hot tub. But it wasn't hot it was humid. I was really early to the practice, I thought I was late because when I was crossing the street the buses were leaving and I had to wait for all the big and slow buses to pass. And I remember once the coach told me when I was on my way to the practice he told me that if you were in a race a turtle would beat you. But actually everyone else was late. I got their early and the coach told me to bring the big ice-cooler to where we practice. The ice-cooler is really heavy but you know me. But first I had to bring the ice-cooler about 40 yards to a pipe and fill the cooler until its full. Then it gets heavier because first it had ice, now it has water. Then I had to walk with the cooler even farther. Until I finally got to the end and set the cooler down.

I sat down, wiped my face and dranked water. After a little rest everyone came to the practice and the coach told us to do the stretches and all the same boring routine. The clouds were getting darker and it started to rain. Rain fell harder and harder and the lightning started to intensify. We finished are stretches and next we had to bear crawl. In bear crawling you crawl in a series of obstacles with two hands on the ground as well as both legs then crawl like a bear. Most people were going so slow they fell. It was finally my turn and I was going so fast I slipped and hit my eye while eating some mud. Which apperently tastes horrible. I was wearing my school uniform because I forgot to bring other clothes so the school clothes was all muddy ans smelly after practice. Then it started to thunder hard and thats when we ran to the bohio. The coach made us do pushups for 30 minutes without stopping. That was some real big pain. But when the time passed I went to Alejandro and walked to him glad that the practice was over. Well actually I'm not sure it was over because the coach said to go get your bags and come back. I realized that when I was on the car. And I really did smell bad.
