Saturday June 28 - The Mountair Mile Part Deux

For the second year now, Stacy and I volunteered our services today at the Mountair Mile. This is a children's multisport race that takes place in a neighborhood not too far from our house put on by a coworker of Stacy's. I feel good about it since it gets kids excited about getting outside along with raising money for a children's local charity, The Sharing Place. We were, once again, put in charge of the finish line this year. There were a few changes that we had to figure out this year, but we did so and everything seemed to go relatively smoothly. The Herrschers participated again this year and I think the boys had a good time. Brinton came in pretty quick - I think due to his hightened competitive nature. I, too, have that hightened nature. It showed to a great deal in high school and shortly thereafter. I have learned to keep it controlled to a great degree for the most part, but every now and then in a race I feel it come forward. This race was a good one. The kids had a good time and we were happy to be there. I imagine we will do this again next year. On Race.

    Did anybody else just throw up a little bit?

    Here is the problem with your little comment, Mike: according to your own views, no one reads this blog. Your comment is, therefore, in vain.
