It was a gorgeous day for a track meet...cool crisp morning with blue skies and warmth to be found by standing in the sun shine. Savannah's been mentally preparing for her elementary track meet for months now. This also included a few Saturday morning jogs and pep talks from her mother. Just passing along a few words of advise that helped me some 20 years ago when I was running circles around the track.
With competitive genes coming from both Dad and Mom...this poor kid was born with the "Eye of the Tiger". Can you hear the music playing in your head? Savannah took 1st place in the 800 meters and did not place in the long jump. When walking to the car she was clearly unhappy with her performance in the long jump. I asked her if she had fun and she replied, "The 800 meters was fun but not the long jump...it's only fun when you win!" Kinda hard to argue with that...it does feel so much better walk away with 1st place. Note to self...help Savannah understand competition can be fun even if you don't come in first place
We were able to share the day with our cousins Cambria and Hunter making the day complete!
