Since I just joined the wonderful world of blogging, there's a bunch of events that I would like to share that happened BB--before blog. One of these events happened a few weeks back, and it was one of Andy's races. For those of you who don't know (shame on you) that Andy is still an active track runner, he had a race in Mt. SAC that my mom, grandma, JC, and I went to. It's always fun watching Andy race, but blink and it's over! He runs the 800, and on a good day for him it's over in about a minute and 52 seconds. This particular race was an awesome one for him. It started off a bit scary because as soon as the gun went off, about 100 meters in I'd say, a few people stumbled on each other and one of the guys fell...hard. Because they were still within the first 200 meters of the race (thanks for the info JC), they had to start the race over. The officials gave them a minute to catch their breath and let another heat go before them, so it was a high anxiety moment--for me. I get really anxious when the boys are participating in sports, especially when it's every man for himself. Mind you, Andy's cool as a cucumber getting ready to do what he's been doing for the past 10 years of his life. Me? Another story. Anywho, the guys head back to the starting line for take 2, and Andy starts off in the middle of the pack. Throughout the race he's kind of stuck in this pack of guys, until the very last 200 meters. Here he comes blazing through everyone like a thoroughbred at the Kentucky Derby. End result? He finishes in 2nd place! It was so exciting to watch and he was pretty happy with his performance, which is basically all you can ask for. All in all, a good day.
