Another first in our lives. We are now in the world of track and field. Neither Dan nor I had ever been to a track event before Tuesday evening. Fortunately this one was close to home so the two hours between Peirce's events was not an issue. We'll see how we keep ourselves occupied at the away events. Peirce is doing the long jump which is a difficult event. He is working on it. The winners at our meet were over 19 feet.----High schoolers! Amazes me. The world record is 29'4". Today we went out to the field for Peirce to work with a friend of ours who was a long jumper in high school. He once held the state record for a few hours.---I laugh, but have I ever held a state record in anything??? We had a good time as Peirce learned some fundamentals and then beat Dan at a 400 yd. race.
