Zoe Went To The Regionals

Zoe got picked to go to regionals for track. She was so excited!  Saturday we went to watch her run. It required getting up early, but it was worth it. I forgot to take a hat so I got a touch of the burn.

People milling about before the action.

We got there early for her event and it was packed already. There were people everywhere and it was hard to get up close enough to get decent pictures. We made sure we had a good spot to people watch then waited. 
 It was a bit warm out but the wait was interesting. A few of the parents yelled at their kids in a mean way, but most of them were very supportive of the runners. Most of them just seemed to want the kids to do their best and have fun. The women seemed to be the more aggressive ones and that was fascinating to me. I enjoyed watching the people, and a couple were even playing Frisbee. They let a little boy play with them and he had lots of fun aiming at the man.

She's in blue Taking the baton.
She ran in the relay race in second position and did really well. She took off like a rocket and all the practice they had been doing really paid off. No one dropped the baton. I hope she sticks with it, as long as she enjoys it. I love going to see her run


We have lift off!
Her team came in 2nd by 3/10 of a second.

Fun At The Track

Yesterday we went and watch my sister-in-law run for her school. It was tons of fun and I got sunburned. Maybe now I'll get a tan!
Her school won most of the events and wow is she fast! I really hope she stays with it next year when she goes to middle school.
Her twin brother had to stay on class while we were there. Poor guy missed a great time with lots of energy. Maybe next time!
There's just something about watching our youngsters running that inspires me. It gives hope.
