Grandparent Weekend

Image
Linda--aka Grandma Allen and I made it to Wauwatosa for the first visit with our spanking new grand daughter and we had a really fun weekend.  We got to see three kids, our  grand daughter and daughter in law and the  two grand dogs.  That sounds like a lot and it was, it was long weekend and I am tired.   June took it all in stride and followed her routine of eating a lot of milk, wanting to be held a lot and making some wicked wind.   But, she is really just a darling and Linda had a lot of holding time that they both enjoyed.  June does prefer the left shoulder, every time we put her on the right side, she was just not happy and fussed until it was corrected.  I think she is going to be left leaning!   And that fits into this family quite easily.     The Moms are doing pretty well.  Betty is back to work and Linsi will take a few more weeks off before heading back to the hospital lab.  That day  is going to be tough on every one, June is just a lot of fun to spend time with.

USATF Tennessee

Last weekend the Tennessee USATF held an event at a local high school and the local talent was out in force really getting it done.   Some the times posted are in the top 5 globally, this season!!! We ran at Whites Creek High School--home of the Cobras.  The track surface is less than a year old and was fast.   I ran in the 60, 100 and 200 meter events.   I skipped the 400 in this meet to get a time in the other events.   The running order was 60, 400, 100 and if I ran the 400--the other events would suffer.   I really needed to get a time in the 100 and 60 so I could see I how compared in the 60 year old category.   The timing was electronic and my meds change was complete, so it was time to step up and get some legal times in place for this season.   I had never run the 60 meters in competition and I had no comparison.  I ran a very quick 8.29 seconds.  There was not wind indication, but the wind was not a factor at that point of the day.  That time puts me at 93.63% in the World
