I have lost my interest in being productive, I think the FED had somthing to do with it.

Even though this week is great because of Spring break. The weather sucks and yesterday was a late night.

We have fog and rain projected throughout the week. It really stinks! It is rough enough to have so many people off at exotic locations, enjoying the warmth of the sun but to have mother nature stick it too us here as well is just a kick in the crotch. Whatever.

Jess had her first track meet of the year last night. They ran at the indoor track at Iowa State. The track meet is just a girls meet but it is schools from all across the state. It is all classes so there are Des Moines schools as well as little schools. It is as close to the state track meet that we will run in until state.

Jess ran the 800 for the first time. She was freaked out because they put her in the fastest heat against a bunch of state title holders. Her heat was lining up and they were announcing all the girls in the heat that were state qualifiers or state champions. She had never run it before so she thought she would get blown out.

She ran a good race and out of 99 girls she ended up 8th. She is 4 seconds off the school record and really looked strong. One of the coaches told me they think she can win state in the 800 this year. We'll see.

She also ran the 4x400 and was the anchor leg. She ran it in 63 seconds which isn't a good time for her but it was 2 seconds faster than she ran it at this meet last year.

It is good to get the meet over and under her belt. I think she felt pretty good about her races and has a good attitude.

I didn't get home until 10 last night and didn't get to bed until close to 11. I am paying the piper this morning and going to drink an extra cup of coffee. The good news is, I have no evening plans the rest of the week.
