Since this is the week leading up to Mother's Day, I'll assume the role of proud mother. Both of our kids distinguished themselves this week in the sporting department.
First, Willie told me he burned some midnight oil and produced three front-page sports stories in one day at Nampa's Idaho Press Tribune this week. He also learned that he'd won a writing award for something he wrote for the Newport Miner during 2005. He'll find out the specifics in June.
Second, Annie didn't let any sore toe get in the way of running in her first Bloomsday yesterday. She told her dad, in a telephone call afterward, that the ankle timer bothered her more than the toe. But, she got some pretty nice results thanks to that timer. She also reported that her cousin Laura was pretty happy about cutting ten minutes off from her last year's race time. Good for you, Laura!
When Annie plugged in her time, she learned the following about her performance:
Finish Time: 1:08:45
Overall Place: 5,105 out of 40,585
Ran with a pace of 9:12 per mile
The average pace for 27-year-olds was 14:10
Placed 108th among people the same age
Placed 178th among people from Seattle, WA
Placed 3,820th among people from the State of Washington
Placed 2nd among people with the same last name
Placed 1,522nd among females
Placed 38th out of 421 among 27-year-old females
Placed 1st in the hearts of Mom and Dad

Congratulations, Willie, Annie and Laura. We're very proud of you!

Yup. He probably knows Willie by now.
