1.8 mi, 18:44, 10:26 avg
I just went for a short run this morning, mainly for the sake of Stella. My legs were tired from yesterday's intervals, which were tired from Sunday's hilly run with fast last mile.
I thought maybe I could get a run in the evening with the humpday hustle crew but the track meet turned into a marathon. I saw Jolene who had the right idea with wearing running shoes and getting in 2.5 miles - although she was herding a group of girls as their assistant coach so that kept her moving around.
Andy did the long jump followed by 4x800m relay which were two of the earliest events. His long jump was an improvement over last time and turned out to the the longest one of anyone from his school (his friend scratched on his and he beat all of the girls - but it was still encouraging).
He unofficially PR'd on his leg with 2:27 according to my watch - breaking 2:30 for the first time.
Thomas debuted with 2:25 on his 800m.
There was a no show for the 4x400m so Andy volunteered. That kept us there until the end -11:45 pm.
I'm glad he tried it, ran 1:01 which was almost the same pace when he tried the 100m last year (14.4 seconds).
Proud of both boys for trying and stretching their limits.
