Friday morning, MFH (My Favorite Husband) and I took my pampered, pudgy pooch, Paxton, to “Reggie’s House” for the second weekend in a row. \u00a0MFH and I had a date on Saturday and we would be gone too long for Paxton to be left in the house alone. \u00a0Reggie agreed to let Paxton spend the weekend so we made plans for our date.<\/p>\n

Saturday morning arrived and MFH and I hopped in the car and drove east to Birmingham, Alabama. \u00a0The NCAA Track & Field Championship were being held there. \u00a0MFH had secured tickets for the two of us to watch the events all day on Saturday.<\/p>\n

We arrived around noon. \u00a0The place wasn’t too terribly crowded but that would soon change. \u00a0We were very fortunate to get seats right in front of the finish line for the running events! \u00a0Sweet! \u00a0We were able to see all the events easily.<\/p>\n

I was wanting to get some pics to make a collage for Aiden’s daily post. \u00a0I had my cell phone out and was trying to get pics. \u00a0I learned quickly that the athletes were a LOT faster than my camera! \u00a0Hahaha!!!<\/p>\n

We were watching the hurdles and I had my phone pointed directly at the hurdles in the middle of the race. \u00a0On purpose, I clicked the button to take the pic BEFORE the runners got there and still the pic snapped AFTER the race was over. \u00a0They were just that fast! \u00a0ZOOM!!!<\/p>\n

I was able to get one pic of somebody running.<\/p>\n

Search me how I managed that! \u00a0They were flying around that track!<\/p>\n

Pole vaulting is something I’ve always wanted to try! \u00a0Even when I was a little girl, that event…well, those bendy poles propelling you up and over the bar? \u00a0I’ve just always wanted to try it!!! \u00a0So of course, I HAD to get pic of pole vaulting. \u00a0That turned out to be a little bit easier than the runners.<\/p>\n

I don’t think I’d make a very good professional photographer. \u00a0How about you? \u00a0Hahaha!!!<\/p>\n

The highlight of the day was the men’s 60 meter. \u00a0A world record was set and we were there to see it! \u00a0How awesome was that!?! \u00a0I swear that even my eyes couldn’t keep up with the speed that those guys were running! \u00a0The world record time yesterday was 6.47.<\/p>\n

The seating was metal bleachers. \u00a0Because we had gotten there early and because we didn’t want to lose our prime seats, we sat there from noon to 5:45. \u00a0I don’t know about MFH, but my patoot was rebelling. \u00a0It was time to go home. \u00a0We had seen some amazing accomplishments. \u00a0Some agonizing defeats and exciting victories.<\/p>\n

On the way home we stopped for malts. \u00a0I had a hot fudge malt and MFH his regular vanilla malt. \u00a0That was our healthy dinner. \u00a0\ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

Super fun day!!!<\/p>\n

Today was my first run after having those toenails removed last Wednesday. \u00a0In all honesty, I was terrified! \u00a0I had absolutely no idea as to what to expect. \u00a0You can imagine how tickled I was to run on happy feet! \u00a0YAY!!!<\/p>\n

My racing singlet from ChafeX arrived in yesterday’s mail as well. \u00a0I am a very lucky girl to get to represent such a great product!!! \u00a0Can’t wait for my next race so I can wear it! \u00a0My next race is April 3 in Austin, Texas. \u00a0It’s the Austin 10\/20 \u00a0http:\/\/www.austin1020.com\/\u00a0. \u00a0I have running friends in Austin and I am looking forward to meeting them IRL. \u00a0Should be lots of fun!<\/p>\n
