Weekend Review

Regional baseball tournament
Lost, disappointing end to the season, but my Nate had already made his peace with the fact that one player had killed them all year and did so in this game too. Two more high school events, baseball awards tonight, and graduation is Wednesday night.

8th grade awards dinner/formal
Food was less than I had hoped, some baked chicken with apple stuff and potatoes that were not really good. The green beans and salad were good, though, and it was fun. She thoroughly enjoyed the dance too.




Steve 50
Steve’s fifty mile run was a huge success. He had eleven volunteers run with him. One followed him and took video footage and pictures, can’t wait to see it. Seven volunteers for aid stations. And he almost doubled his goal fund raising. It wasn’t a disease changing amount, but it was more than we could have ever donated ourselves. Thirty mph hour Kansas wind with gusts up to 45, and the hottest day of the year so far. I don’t mean it was 5 degrees hotter. Temp jumped 15+ degrees in two days. With 4 miles left Channel 12 news came out and took video footage and did a segment on the 10:00 news. He ran 50.25 miles. His right foot is blistered pretty good, but no sore muscles, and he is looking forward to his next run, a half marathon in June, and his next marathon in October and his next ultra in November.
Birthday party




We missed the surprise birthday party we were invited to. I was very disappointed.
Softball game
Blisters made Steve make the (good) decision to not play.

  1. That is some kind of MADNESS that he can run 50.25 miles and NOT have sore muscles! Is he, like, superhuman or something?

    GOOD FOR HIM FOR THE ACCOMPLISHMENT!!!
