It's in the air, I can smell it...

Everyone always gets in a little funk about now with gloomy weather and the aching for spring, but NOT ME! This time of year only means 1 thing...Can you smell it? Most of you can't but it's there-TRACK SEASON has begun! I count down the days till track season and this year is no different. I have been blessed to become a certified track official and help out at indoor meets this year. I went to BYU a couple of weekends ago and got to see Brooke Jensen break Tiffany Lott's indoor hurdle record. That was huge the record has stood since 1994! Also, for all you non-track people (pretty much everyone who reads my blog) Tiffany is a former Olympian: Athens 2004. Then this past weekend I got to help at the UHSTCA meet at the Olympic Oval. It was great! I also got to see Apollo Anton Ohno practicing at the Oval while I was there. Don't hate me I didn't have my camera, but I was so excited to even SEE him. Anyway, outdoor season starts on Feb. 23 and I can't wait. It's in the air and I can smell it.....

Exciting, yes, BUT If I remember right, I HAVE A PICTURE WITH MY ARM AROUND APOLO ANTON OHNO!!!!

Glad you are excited for track season. How are you going to manage all the babysitting and track meets?

By the way, I've moved out of my house and I'm living with some friends until Jon gets home on the 14th. I'm coming to Utah on the 18th and will be staying with Lori on the 21st and 22nd then flying to Amsterdam on the 23rd. SEE YOU IN A COUPLE OF WEEKS!!!!

Wow somebody broke Tiffany's record. That is pretty amazing.

I miss track season. However, I have been running lately. Maybe I will run a marathon (oh wait I am not a long distance runner - I can hardly run 3 miles).
