Running....it's all I do

I am here, I am just super busy right now.  I need to be in 10 places at once and can't keep all the balls juggling.  

So, back on Thursday, Mr N had his run up in Ladysmith.....far far away....and as usual, my "action" shots leave nothing to be desired.  You would think after 6 runs I would get ONE decent shot of the kid running.  Not to say this isn't a good shot, but I want to capture a different part of the run.  Granted, this particular spot was an uphill one with a turn just after this shot was taken, so his gait was different than the real "run it all out" to win run.  Oh, well.  6 more races to go.  Oh, he ended up with a 7th place finish in this one.  He finished 2nd for his team and the team won another 1st place trophy to add to the collection.  He even got to hold the trophy in the group photo this time.  Cool.  Oh, and before you wonder if he was running with aliens, I blurred the others faces (but I am sure you figured that out).

Mr Q didn't have a game this week because the other school didn't have enough kids for a 7th grade team.  So he had a mini-vacation from the game this week.

On to me.  Not much happening except work and running the kids around.  I have worked several days this week to keep up with all our events.  Today is the last one for a little while so I can relax a little...just a little.  We have to get ready for the next one.  Samples need to be made, classes organized, papers cut and whatnot.  And my DT work for PAZZLES should be arriving this week too.  No rest for the wicked.

OK, peeps.  Enough for today.  I have to make lunch and head to work.  At least Mr. Crockpot is busy cooking my supper for tonight, so all I have to do is walk in the door and eat after work tonight.  Potatoes, a whole chicken and carrots, it smells so good already!

I hear ya!
It's busy around here too. Don is on a working marathon, it's crazy. So I hear ya, when you say running around non-stop.

Tell Nick congrats on the placement, he is doing quite well in his running. Plus it sounds like the whole team is doing well, also.

Hope you have a great week. In just a few more hours, the daily grind starts again.

Don't you love your crockpot. It does make dinner so much easier and it smells so good when you walk in the door to know it's good to go.
