** Took Sophers, Sherm and Livvy to the HS track right after my run. Sophia was wanting to run a hard 1500 meters. She hasn't raced or done any really hard runs for over one month now and we were simply curious as to where her time would be. Her 1500 PR is 5:43, we were hoping for anything under 6:10.

Well, when we got to the track the HS team was using it. Stink. I told Sophers that I was going to talk to the coach and see if he'd be willing to let her do a 1500 meter run and possibly have someone pace her. When I told him her times he said that he didn't have any girls who could do that today but that he would ask a couple of the guys. Sophia was very intimidated and didn't know if she wanted to run with a HS boy. I asked her what Mary Cain would do. She then said she wanted to do it. CUTE GIRL!!

The coach told his runner to pace Sophia at about a 6:30ish pace but that if he could tell she had more to start picking it up. They started WAY TOO SLOW. But after one lap the coach could tell that Sophers was in it. He yelled at his boy to pick up the pace. The whole HS cross country team began screaming and cheering Sophia on. She kicked at the end (as usual) and ended with a 6:01. :) :) :) She was very happy!!! Of course she loved it when all the high schoolers and coaches were talking about what a beast she is!! :)

We then timed Sherm. He killed his 100 meters at a 13.98! He went straight away to the 200 but struggled a bit with that and ran a 33.24 (which is likely due to no rest between). :)

Livvy ran 100 in 17.77 which is great for her as well! :)

It was a FUN morning!! :)
