Well, it must be spring. The tennis shoes are hitting the pavement again. :)
Brian ran his first half marathon of the year getting ready for his 6th full marathon this summer. He decided to run this a couple weeks before the race...got sick the week of the race...and still completed it in great time!
Brian and his buddy Alan...Alan will be running the full marathon with Brian in June as well.
Nick had his first nighttime dance at the school a couple weeks ago. Not the kind of dance that you take a date to, but where all the ninth graders dress up in their Sunday best and meet at the school for a couple hours. He had a blast! Apparently he was was busting quite the move on the dance floor and danced with lots of ladies...as he put it. :)
Today, Hailey had her first track meet ever and had her worst nightmare ever happen (and learned that life goes on) along with a confidence boosting event as well. This is her way across the field getting ready for her leg of the 4x100 relay. As she was trying to pass the baton to the next runner, the runner ahead of her took off faster than she could get to her and then stopped suddenly when she was coming to the end of the passing zone and Hailey ran into her and the baton went flying...DQ'd. Bummer!!!! This is what she was most afraid of happening, but it has now happened and life went on!
Her other event was the 4x400 relay and what a confidence boost this was! She ran 2nd and her team was in 2nd place when she was handed the baton.
She kept up a strong pace and even started closing the gap between her and the person in front of her.
Coming down the stretch she managed to close the gap even more...
Exhausted at the end, she caught her breathe then went up and cheered her team on to VICTORY! First place finish for these awesome girls.
I love that she is willing to try something new!!!! She rocks!!!
