Hello again! It's been a few weeks since I last wrote. Things are continuing to progress in a good direction for me with my training in preparation for the beginning of the outdoor track and field season. I have decided to focus my energies into throwing the discus this season. Originally I was going to try and throw shot put, but with deep thought I came to the conclusion that my best chance for making an Olympic team would come from throwing the discus. I am excited and feel good about my decision. This past Friday I had a chance to test my progress with a small indoor discus competition. I had a couple good throws that impressed me considering where my training is at right now. I'm ready to get going with the track and field season and more than ready to be outside and traveling to compete at meets.
Things are continuing to go well at the Boys and Girls Club here in Minneapolis. I had a few weeks off while I was back home for Christmas break. Since I've been back one employee and myself have discussed the idea of putting together a group for just the boys at the club. We have talked about the possibility of talking about fitness and nutrition. I will also take advantage of this opportunity to teach the kids more about track and field and hopefully take them to some meets. We hope to put this group together in about two weeks. It should be fun!
