Two weeks in one because I'm lazy

Three runs and two workouts both weeks.  Looks like run plus legs is my new future.  The next few weeks are going to be jam packed with concerts, promotions, and lasts for middle school.  Stay tuned. Plus, the temperatures will only be rising, I am sure.  

Morning running here I come?  Bleh.

The biggest story of the week was we raced!  I wrote a book on the book of faces about it but let me tell you, it was emotional.  Andrew has big emotions, always has, always will, and he's not afraid to show them to you.  Before the hot laps he was all tears and shaking again, just like last weekend.  This is all new and change is hard for him so we tried to just support him the best we could.  We know he can do it; he has the skill set to do well in this sport for sure, but he has to believe in himself, something we have struggled with for years.  As the night went on, he got more and more brave and comfortable, but he spun out in his heat race and didn't get to finish the laps and spun out twice in the Feature and didn't get to finish that race either.  I'm still calling it a win because he had seat time, he ended on a good note, and he won some money that gave him incentive to do better next time.  Since I am two weeks behind, here are some pictures.

It truly ended on a good note.  Charlie got third in junior sprints and Madden won restricted.  Can't wait for the next one at a new track Jefferson Speedway in Fairbury Nebraska.

The rest of the two weeks were filled with lasts.  Lasts choir concert, last solo and ensemble competition for middle school, and last teacher appreciation for our favorite teacher who does it all.  Can we just transport her to high school????  We also got a live band in at Aggieville brewing who needs a bass player (hmmmmm).  They play more 80s hair bands which he knows, but he's more of a 90s kid musically.  

Okay I know I need to be better about writing and posting but I've just been very unmotivated lately to write.  I have really enjoyed doing live videos even though no one watches LOL.  Have a great week y'all!

Dirt slinging

 

A week of firsts.  Let's start out with workouts.  Three runs and one arm work out.  One run was pretty hot, the other was perfect, and the third would have been magical had it not been for the humidity.  Sigh.  Welcome to Kansas where the humidity can be 100 percent and it's still not raining.  

Mudpig approves of the rain because rain equals puddles.  We did spend some time in the basement one night as there were tornados all around but for once they went south of us and stayed away.  

The highlight of the week was getting to practice in Andrew's new restricted micro.  I'm not going to lie, I have felt all the emotions leading up to this, scared, anxious, and excitement.  I knew he would be nervous, so I had to hide anything I had deep inside.  Here are the pictures from the day.  I am SO very proud of him for yes, being nervous, but digging deep, getting out there, and trying his best. 

Preload and load.  So different getting to all ride together and only having one car.

Nerves.

Friends.

New arm restraints.

Thank God for Micah being there to calm him down.  He stayed with him all day right by his side, never leaving.  He arranged for him to get to practice by himself to help with his nerves and helped him walk the track post practice to get an understanding of how the track changes.

Baby's first infield picture.  Thanks Josie Imm for taking this one!  I can't wait to see many, many more.  Just take my money!

I'm so excited for this journey and I can't wait to see what happens!  This year is going to be a year of learning and fun and I am here for it! No expectations and no goals other than improve every race.  

Y'all have a great week!  It's race week and I can't wait to see how much fun we have racing!
