I was expecting the venue to look like this:
But it actually looked like this:
I was not up on my race tracks (although you’d think I
should be with how much Logan loves race cars), but this track was closed back
in the 60’s. And apparently that’s plenty of time to have very tall trees grow
all over the place. The infield looked
more like park and you couldn’t see any other part of the track because of all
the trees. The actual track was as wide
as a bridle trail now, so at least they kept a bit of the runway clear all
these years.
We talked about strategy a little bit and decided to have 2
people rotate through the first 10 laps and have the next 2 rotate through the
last 10 laps. We thought going 1 through
4 would be too much downtime. Marty and Ali went first, both not targeting the
race itself and both ran long that morning (the race didn’t start until
1pm). Jason and I were a bit more rested
and both of us ran pretty hard for our turns.
We ended winning the 4 person, co-ed team!

We are also working hard on getting Logan out of his
diapers. We haven’t pushed the issue
much at all as everyone has told us it’s not worth it and kids will potty train
when they’re ready, but it seems like we have been a bit stagnant and he needed a
little shove. We had been putting him in
underwear at the house (and he did really well) but whenever we went anywhere
we would put him in a diaper. And also for daycare we would put him in a diaper
because we weren’t sure what would happen all day – until someone assured us
his teachers were used to dealing with the situation and to just send him in
underwear (with lots of extras and spare clothes). So far, he’s been pretty successful with just
a few accidents. I know it will still be
a work in progress but he definitely understands and the other night, he
told me he had to poop and then actually went on his potty. For other parents out there, you know how
huge this is!
