Jon's First Track Meet of 2013

It is that time of year again but thankfully this year it was only 90 degrees at the first meet of the season instead of 105. It was a beautiful day and once the meet got going, which took a while due to some poor planning on the part of the host team, it went really smoothly.
Jon was unable to participate in the long jump due to the before mentioned problems but he did not mind.

 He ran the 2nd leg of the relay and was great! 

 Joey spent most of the time in our shade pop up reading. He read an entire book "More of the Great Brain" by John D. Fitzgerald. He has really liked these books.  He did take some time out to play a few games and watch one of Jon's races. 
 The 100 m 

The 50 m
We are still trying to help him understand that he should not waste his time and energy looking at his opponents to see if he is winning. Instead he should look straight ahead and sprint! The thing I have loved most about this is that he is not angry if he does not take first place or even if he gets last place.  He used to be a really sore loser but something about him running his heart out makes him know that he did his best and that is all that matters!
Keep running Jon!
(His second meet was today and our team was hosting.)
