A Busy Saturday

Today was a busy day. It started with a long run - we haven't been running with all the snow and ice for the past 2 weeks. It was a nice break (snow & ice) - but it was a rough start this morning to get back in to the swing of things. I have a girlfriend who is thinking about a marathon in April in Houston and I would kinda' like to train with her but don't really have the "ambition" to train for a full marathon at this time. (I feel like the Frankenthon (26.2) was just the other day.) So... wait and see.

We got back in time to get over to Nick's gym meet in Allen. It was the yearly Friendship Invitational. It was very very "friendly" to Nick this year! :) Below is his routine on pommel. He received 1st on pommel (15.2), high bar (15.0), vault (14.7) and rings (14.6). He took the All-Around with an 87.4. Team Eagle (Level 6) took 1st place! Nice Job boys!

He sure was enjoying himself at this meet - you could tell on his face. He ended his high-bar routine with a very enthusiastic double-arm pump, before the customary salute. He was excited!

After we came home from the gym meet we ate a quick dinner and loaded everyone up to head to a Texas Tornados hockey game - EXCITING, FUN, FAST-PACED (oh yeah)! (I am so very glad that none of our boys have asked to play hockey - talk about a rough sport!) Christopher had a b-day party invitation to the hockey game and we all "tagged along" for an enjoyable evening. The game went into overtime with 2 apiece, but the TT ended up losing when Amarillo scored the winning 3rd point. Oh well, still fun! (And no one has asked YET to join any hockey team... shew!)
