The boys had a meet in Jacksonville this morning. It was one of those meets where they try to get creative and make it exciting for people. So they had seven different races where you were put your team members in a race based on the seed place on the team. So the runner who is typically seventh ran in the “number seven man race”. The one who is usually sixth ran in the “number six man race”, all the way up the line. It’s been frustrating having the team dealing with sickness or injuries.

The boys did well though. The one is still trying to catch his brother and the other one is trying to find his magic again. I told him it will come back. I got my video footage and used it to send to Ethan who was texting me throughout all of the races. He’d figured out that they would win the meet, until we realized that since our number one runner was injured, the team would receive a major penalty of points being added to their score, so instead of winning they ended up with second, which was still very cool.

My body is still so tired and struggling to bounce back. I tried to start a couch to 5k program a few weeks ago and I initially thought it was going well. But after the first day of week 2 I have not been able to get back to any kind of shape to run. Once I’m feeling better I’m going to modify it to alternate between normal walking and faster walking instead of walking and jogging. So we’ll see if that helps. My son had another dance tonight but this time they were going to her school for homecoming.
