Back in time?


Two 3-mile walks, two strength work outs, and 2 runs this week!  Who am I?   The weather changed and cooled off and it was glorious!  Not going to lie, walks are making me so happy lately, even if Ollie pulls like her life depends on it and tries to catch birds in midair.  



Of course it's going to heat back up next week.  Sigh.  We may be back to just walks as we have a super busy schedule with school starting back up.  Water pig as I have been calling her is good to go as long as we have some water on the route.



We went to an 80s night as well at our local brewery.  While it was overall kind of disappointing, it was fun to dress up in my most favorite era.  I even dusted off some leg warmers and my cassette earrings and rocked that side ponytail.  We were going to have a lab outing at the event, but only one other couple showed up, but the band was good, and we had some good beers.    I really wish my favorite local brewery had some sort of food, even if it was just appetizer stuff, and also a patio.  We headed to another brewery later that did serve food, but they had been slammed and were out of all meats.  Huh?  Okay, chips and salsa it is.  Oh well, still fun, just not what I had hoped for.  



Let's end on racing!  I will bullet point this to make it short and sweet.  

  • Andrew drove his butt off in Heavy Honda getting a second place in both the heat and feature.  It was so cool to see his newfound confidence come into play with a faster car to boot.  While he still couldn't beat Madden, he sure did try with some passes on Mad dog himself!  Remember Madden races nationally and had just won a whole bunch of awards at a huge national race just last week.  Did Andrew let that bother him or intimidate him?  Nope!  Win!
  • Andrew wanted to try ratcheting hub in both cars with it being cooler out and the track changing rapidly through the night.  While he did have some spin outs and finished off of the podium, he still had some super-fast times and pushed his car.  Win in my book!
  • Andrew was not happy about losing. No, he isn't a sore loser, but to see him have emotion about not getting the place he had hoped to place is a new thing!
  • He's super excited about trying again this week with even more different set ups!
  • He's super excited about the next clash race.  He even said they are better than me, but I will give it my all to try and beat them.  Who is this child?????
  • I was really disappointed in how some adults act.  We had a bad call in Minnesota, but we didn't scream and yell or pout or talk about leaving the club again.  We just told Andrew that is life, move on, do better next time and sometimes the calls don't go the way you like.  Life is certainly never fair, and it never will be.  

Have a great week y'all!  School starts, another night race happens, and we might get to go see some dirt racing Friday night!
