Today the temps plummeted and seemed to bottom out during the track meet this evening. After a very normal Tuesday, I went to my daughter's very first running track meet. After nearly 4 years of training to throw shot and discus as a varsity track athlete, Jessi made the painful decision this week to start running with the JV distance runners in order to begin seriously training for the Navy and the basic training she will need to go through this summer. Tonight she ran the 800 meter. I thought she looked great and for her first race ever in high school, she ran well-- 3.03.
While she second guesses her decision, I think she'll be very glad in July that she dealt with shin splits in April. I so very proud of her efforts.
I'll be back in the stadium tomorrow in the cold, hopefully to see Monika on the field for the first time.
