For once I'm not being sarcastic. Adam's been home since yesterday morning, and I've actually been able to spend a lot of time with him and his friend Dave

you should ask megan how many times i've vaulted over the back of her couch.
you should hurdle... really... it's fun. except that you'd have coach p workouts, which are certainly NOT fun. i was good at it, but i kinda hurt myself pretty quickly... oh well. i'll stick with plain old sprinting. coach james is so much easier.
I have this issue with hurdling... I can jump really well but I clear it by so much that I lose a LOT of time, so it looks pretty ridiculous and dance-like. Then again, those WERE the low hurdles we tried in gym...
i adopt the boys' method and go as low as possible, usually putting my foot through the hurdle :)
i sound like a boy when i run hurdles.
i'm sure you could do those little tiny hurdles we had for the sprinters and jumpers... for sprints, we had to sprint through them, one hurdle for each step with proper sprinting form. took a lotta willpower. for jumps, we had to hop on one foot back and forth over them for a minute, rest, do it again, rest, do it again, etc until coach decided we were done... that's when we pray coach is in a good mood.
but then again, i'm the kid who used to jump wheelbarrows for fun, when i was about 9... and i hurdled fences whenever possible too.
i also liked jumping canoes and grills. christine's backyard had a canoe and a barbeque AND a wheelbarrow! and we used to put a bar between two trees and see how high we could jump... and she had a swingset and we would roll the swings up until they were pretty high, and then i'd jump through the swing... i tried jumping her hammock too, but more often than not i almost, but not quite, made it and caught my foot on the hammock and was thrown into the tree or fence. and then i'd get up and try again.
