Run Yourself Young

Look who got a bit of press today.  We're participating again this year and welcome anyone who wants to join us.

1st Swim Meet of 2015

We hit the road EARLY this morning (translation: wake up at 5:45 am to walk the dog, get boys up at 6:10 and out the door at 6:15) for T's first sanctioned swim meet in Spartanburg, SC.  {T joined our local YMCA's swim team the Piranhas this fall, practicing 2x/week.  It is definitely a "step-up" with a more competitive focus and attention on developing proper technique and learning the rules of the sport}.  As parents, it was awesome to see the progress he has made after hours of practice in the pool.  His age placed him in the Boys 10 & Under division, and despite being on the younger end, he did great.  We reminded him today's results give him a baseline (to strive to beat) for each stroke.
