A Day at the Races

There is nothing better than sitting around all day on a Saturday and not feeling one bit of guilt. We call it “guilt-free laziness.” Because our kids are involved in sports we spend much of our Saturday watching them run around and sweat and we sit in our picnic chairs and yell at them to go faster. If you don’t like yard work, I’d recommend getting your kids involved in sports. Today was the High School State Track Meet for Zach. He took 8th place in the State in the 100 meter dash with a time of 11.06. His 4x100 relay team took 2nd with a time of 42.20, behind first place by only 0.04 seconds. These times were both new school records at his high school!

We missed the drama of the meet when a cameraman was hit through the leg by a javelin. Zach saw it happen. He said the guy wobbled around, sat down and then started taking pictures of it. They sawed off the javelin and then measured the throw - 171 feet! It delayed the meet about an hour while they attended to him.
