Friday and Saturday this week was Nick’s final Howard Wood meet. The weather was very good…in fact, it was very warm for a typical Howard Wood. Usually it is raining, cold, windy, but he got to go out with nice weather. Their medley relay won their heat, but just fell out of the top 8 overall. Even so, they got to experience winning the heat. Here is Nick coming down the final stretch to the finish line. Determination…power…concentration. It take it all, and when in a relay, it takes all of that from everybody on the relay…but particularly, team work. You depend on each other, finish with each other, and win or lose with each other. It also creates memories that keep on going as well…this month will continue in the series of finals for Nick. I am proud of him…can you tell? However he finishes, I want him to have had fun, experience team work, as well as individual achievement. Running can accomplish all of this. But most of all, cherish memories that will go well beyond the moment…memories to look back on and smile, and be proud, and know that you gave it your all! We all can learn from this. We may never win, but that is not really the point. Life is an experience, and we need to experience to the maximum. Enjoy all of it! Keep moving everybody!
