Cino De Mayo - Hell, I barely know her!

The weather today is going to be awesome! in the 70's and no or light wind. It should be a good day for a track meet.

This weekend went well. Jess went to prom Saturday and had a really good time. They do an after-prom party at the elementary school that goes from 12:30 to 4:30. They have casino games and a bunch of activities and then they had a hypnotist. Jess was telling me about it and it sounded very funny.

Drew went to a Power Team demonstration on Friday night. This group is a bunch of strong men that break boards, bend steel rods, tear phone books and stuff like that. He really enjoyed it and then he had a friend spend the night.

Sunday we had a father son scrimmage with the baseball team. We played for over two hours and I am really sore today. It was fun but dang, I am out of shape. I get winded running the bases.

Last night we had a track team unity. I made a lasagna type dish and baked macaroni anch cheese. We had 16 girls attend and they seemed to have a good time.

Today is the conference track meet. I am hoping the team does well. We have a chance to win the conference as a team if everyone runs well. Jess should win the 400, 800 and they have a good shot at winning the sprint med. I am not sure how the long jump will go. She should place but it could be anywhere from 1st to 4th.

The meet starts at 4:30 so I have to leave work around 3:30 or so to get changed and get to the meet.

Check out the video clip below. I recorded this at the last track meet. She is running against the city schools and really dominated. She ran her best time of the year so far and had a wind in her face the last 100. I am hoping she breaks 59 today. I think she can break 58 by State. Weather always plays a factor though.

I hope the sun is shining where you are.
