First Quarter Grades

 Jack ended up with all A+s and one A- for a 3.95 GPA in his first semester. The girls had all As. 

Mizzou Elite Distance Festival

 Write up before the meet. 

Washburn Open College Meet

 Kate wanted to run the 3k one more time to try to get the New Balance Standard for nationals. She missed it by 9 seconds at Pitt State. She ran in the fastest heat and finished 8th 10:18.59 which will qualify her. 

Tricky Running

 It has been extremely cold (for us) in the single digits and negative digits, then we got 8 inches of snow. The high school indoor state meet was cancelled which was so disappointing. It has been tricky to get in runs and workouts, but we made the best of it. 

Sports Nutrition Certification

 I decided to do this certification to learn more about nutrition. It has been good so far. 

Long Run (Before the Snow)

 The girls and Sam ran together after school Friday before the snow was supposed to start. 

Snow Predictions

 They started predicting snow for Saturday and this was the bread and water shelves at Sam's Club on Wednesday. We did get 8 inches of snow Saturday and Sunday followed by extremely cold temperatures so school was cancelled for four days! I did have the girls clear off their car (they used shovels...!) and taught them how to drive in it. They made a mini snowman and snow ice cream of course. We watched movies and had a lazy week.
