So...after we finished with the water station at the half marathon, we headed down to Jacksonville for the second swim meet of the season. This was G's first meet getting moved up to the 11/12 year old division. Her goals were to drop time in 3 events, and to swim the 100 yard individual medley for the first time in competition. She was so proud of herself that she reached all of her goals! Swimming the IM was HUGE, as she has never swum the butterfly stroke in ANY meet since she started swimming. This is by far the hardest stroke and takes the most strength and energy, especially when you are tiny little G with your barely 60 pound frame. She has been scared for 3 years that she 'looks stupid' doing this stroke, but you can clearly see in the video that she looks great! (butterfly is the first stroke in the IM).
More rain today...D

YAY Gray Gray! I am proud of you for doing so well on Saturday. It was a big day for both of us. Lol! Thank you both for cheering me on Saturday. I can finally walk somewhat normal now.
