a.m. A mile plus of running around with my kids on their sprint tri. Both of them won in the 12-14 age divisions. Regrettably, the division was broken down as 18 and under. I'm really happy for both of them. The goody bag had registration cards for a 10k on Thanksgiving; Jens already paid for his own entry, and Grace asked me to sign her card. Good stuff. In the p.m. We went to Freedom Hills for a Labor Day picnic following a day full of yard work and cleaning. Of course the switchbacks beckoned. I completed four with my left morton toe throbbing and my blistered right instep refilling. Afterward, I rooted around the valve boxes in the park and turned on some sprinklers to run through and play frisbee. Most of us got all the way wet. Jack got a few drops and didn't like it. He said quite a lot of stern gibberish, so I got him out of the wet zone. It was a great send off to summer vacation. 5 kids back to school all day tomorrow. 60/100 |
