What other sports do you participate in?

running and soccer I used to play soccer (2 practices plus a game per week) but now I am an assistant coach to my daughter's team (same # of practices and one game per week). Technically I am the conditioning coach, so I bring a lot of my xcountry, track, and swimming background to her team. As much as I miss playing, I at least get a bit of a run around a couple times a week and get to spend time with my daughter and her friends. I run, depending on my schedule, 2 - 5 times per week. If I miss a pool session then I try to run that day. I, too, have a dog who requires me to run! And while it is too dangerous to ever encourage your dog to enter a pool, in the summer I do swim with him...we live next to the ocean, and he will happily swim a kilometre or two with me. Sometimes his tail gets tired (dogs use their tails like rudders). The main difference, however, between dogs and people swimming is that people smell better after swimming, while dogs smell....doggy.
