I have to say I am SOO PROUD of my kids today who ran in the Philadelphia Archdiosecan Championship Meet today at UPENN's Franklin Field. JulieAnn: 5:22 min and Katie 5:27min(age14) came in 3rd and 4th in the mile (1600m) out of 25 girls, Thomas 5:24 min (age14) came in 15th out 25 boys, Steve Bradley (age 10 &sporting his XTERRA tattoo) came in 10th out of 25 boys. Julie Ann and Katie also placed the same in the 800m. The track was HOT! 102 degrees hot! The kids did great...and withstood the pressure of the heat. my little heros rocked!
Of course I had to do a race too! I did the Wissahickon Trail Classic this morning...it was hot and humid as well. I had to test my abilities in this type of heat and help decide to go to Bama. I didn't push it on this race, and I have to admit....I had to PEEE!! the whole 6.2 miles of trail run. I came 97th out of 499 runners. Not too bad for pulling back at times.
