Track Meet Repeat

This week I participated in my second of the track meets. I didn't get any of my official times from the first one (besides my 1500 time), but I did this week.

It will be fun to compare over the next few weeks to see if the times change at all.

This week I did the 1600 (slower pace than my 1500 last week, which was disappointing), the 100, and the 400. I thought about staying to do the 800 as well, but I was just too tired.

Hubby did the 100, which he thought was fun. He was 4 seconds faster than me I think.

Anyway, I'm really, really, really enjoying these events. It kind of stinks that they're in the summer evening (so, so hot), and that they only last 7 weeks (and I missed the first 2 weeks, then spent a week watching).

It's just been a fun night to hang out with friends, talk them into running events that I want to run, getting beaten badly by them (though there's one person I usually finish near).

So I took a few photos to share:

A mid-air high jump:

A different mid-air technique on the jump (I was obsessed with watching this and considered trying until I realized there was absolutely no way I'd be able to do it and I'd fall and look like a complete idiot):

Various people I don't know hanging around and warming up:

People I DO know -- recently engaged, happily beating me in every single event we all run:

A few more shots of 100 runners:

It was fun, particularly watching the jumpers and the 100 meter races.  There were also some people who ran hurdles, but I didn't get close enough to take any pictures.  Another event that I am likely physically unable to do, certainly without an unduly high injury and idiot-looking risk, but that seems like it would be so incredible.
