Indiana finally saw some dry days this week. We had gorgeous weather for our meet on Tuesday and bearable rain for yesterday's Junior High Madison County Meet. Tonight the rain held off long enough for Brianna to come over from Taylor and hold a 'high jump clinic' for some of our jumpers. It proved to be quite the profitable event for our athletes. Afterwards Brianna and I hung around for about an extra hour so we could work one-on-one. Yes, she is teaching me how to high jump. She is a spectacular teacher. Unfortunately the same cannot be said for her student. :P After multiple stretches, drills and runthroughs I was finally confident enough to jump. It took multiple attempts, but this evening I cleared 4'. Throughout my high jump attempts in middle and high school I never quite managed to clear the bar. This evening I changed that statistic. Now for 4'2"...
After spectacular skies for practice, the rain is finally falling- and falling hard! I heard the thunder begin to roll through a bit ago and opened up my porch door to watch the storm approach. Dark clouds thickened across the sky as the lightning spidered down with increased frequency. The rain began falling in fat scattered drops. I left my door open. The strong cool breeze brings the intense feeling of spring through the screen door, even if it does mean a few splatters find their way onto the carpet and my legs as I sit here. :)
Tomorrow night we host Argyll Relays. I fear the ground might be a tad damp. :P As long as it's not raining cats and dogs I think I shall be quite content. By this point I've gathered enough tricks to keep me [mostly] dry in respectable, non-horizontal, precipitation.
