This is Sally, my running buddy. She's a great coach. She only has one coaching phrase ("Come on!") and she uses it for everything. "Sally, I'm tired", I'll say. "Come on!", says Sally. "I'm old", "My knees hurt", and "I've just tripped over you" all elicit the same response. Actually, she does have one other coaching phrase ("Squirrel!"), but it's not all that much help.
She does tend to make detours for squirrels, deer, anyone she thinks might have food, cats, and interesting smells. Unfortunately, the places that don't have lots of squirrels tend to have lots of cats. That's not because the squirrels are smart and have high-fluffy-tailed it out of there, either, folks.
