A few quick things happening in out world of sports last week...

Henry ran his 2nd track meet on Tuesday, and he did the 3200 for the first time. He's still coming off a knee injury, so his training has not been great. He said his goal was to break 13:00, and I told him that was weak. I told him I thought he could break 12:20, and he finished in 12:13. Guess dad knows what's up!

Go Henry!!

The next morning was Earth Day, and Charlie and I celebrated by biking to school. And then he biked to baseball practice after school, and I biked to pick up him from baseball. And then we biked along Ayd Mill Road for the first time to get home:

Heading home against rush hour traffic (obviously).
I'm wearing Charlie's baseball gear on my back.

Thursday night was Charlie's swim team banquet, and he picked up his 2 ribbons from a previous meet, and then his 3 ribbons from state:

His blue ribbon was from a relay, and his 3rd place in state was a relay as well.

Friday night was the high school "Elite Meet" at Hamline University. The best high school runners are invited to compete in almost like a "pre-state state meet." My nephew Ian is a good hurdler, and he competed in the 300 high hurdles, and he finished right in the middle of the pack (5th of 9) to finish 5th in the state! (His time was 39.52 if that means anything to you.)

Some sweet back-lit shots at 7:30 pm! Congrats Ian!!
