I waited 13 hours for this!!!!
The last race of the night at 9pm. They ran their best time of 4:37 in the 4x400 relay.Oh, and the girl on the left w/ 2 medals I watched 3 hours of high jump to see her place 3rd.(These girls were in the 3rd heat out of 5, and seated 24th) But after an awesome race, and running a 4:52 all year--State Champs of 6th Place.
So this rain has brought a little bad karma in the last few weeks!
#1--Why is the Nike flip flops so popular...took 2 shopping trips to buy.
#2- My glasses are getting fixed, though both eyes had the same prescription and it was right in the computer but came back with a +2.75 instead of a -3.25. Yes, I was blind when i tried it on. So the first time I get my glasses they are cracked, 2nd time wrong prescription, third time a charm.
#3- We opened our pool and have drained in 2x in one day
#4-Tea was spilled on my Apples to Apples Game
#5- My brother is still the champ of Ticket to Ride Game 6x
#6-I've been standing in the rain too much this year for track, bus duty,walking to class, and the weekend doesn't look any better for an all day track meet Fri/Sat.
Looking at the Bright side-- My neighbor apparently received flowers from her daughter, yet they sent an extra pack..so I now have tulips blooming in my room.
I am looking forward to seeing what my girls can run at the state track meet.
Update!
I promised an update, yet my week has been full. I am enjoying a night off though, and it's nice to be able to rest
My runners did an awesome job, and am pleased to have a high jump, 4x200,400,4x400 going to state! Now I need to check the IESA website for ranking. It's going to be a full weekend at East Side Center.
Also--- My 7th grade Girls team placed 3rd Overall.

So I continue to get compliments on how well my coaching has been this year. Though I beg to differ as I have realized that I have just been a coach that runs her girls like crazy. So maybe I shouldn't have ran my kids into the ground, the night before a dual meet. {100,200,400,800,1600,400,200,100}oops! That will do it...shouldn't have ran the ladder workout.But hey- with all this rain, I was positive it would be canceled and technically, it would have given them 4 days off. Oh, and I shouldn't mess around with trying to stack my relay team, but hey--you gotta try everything to get faster b/f the BIG sectional meet. My girl's are still working on 2009 records...Unfortunately, the weather was co-operative with us. Though a big meet at Dunlap with 5 other schools, we did well.
I thank my 10 girls[*5- 6th graders, 5- 7th graders] who work hard for me every day at practice and give it all they have. While Dunlap and Farmington girls run only 1-2 events a meet, my girls are maxed out with 3-4. We place 2nd out of 11 teams in the conference(the only team that beat us was a team that had to bring an entire bus for their Girl's team). Looking forward to some big meets this week and hoping we qualify for state. I'll update who I have going for state at Eastside Center on May 9th.
