One Shining Moment

Last weekend Shelby, the daughter of my running buddie/ex-girlfriend Shela, played in the National Championship game of the NCAA Div II tournament. The shots above are of her scoring the winning run that sent Emporia State into the finals. This was Shelby's Freshman year, and like most Freshman, she saw limited playing time. But, when she got a her chance in the big game, she delivered. That's what winners do. I'm sure she will become a key player Emporia. Maybe next year they'll win it all.

It should be noted, that I did give Shelby a lot of pointers when she was 12 and Shela and I were dating. Looks like she was listening. She was a winner even back then. Well, now that softball is over, Shela doesn't have any more excuses to not train. I hope you feed off Shelby's example and make a athletic statement of your own. Boston, maybee??

I ran an easy 4-miles today after work. Still not quite recovered from Sunday's race. Should be good to go tomorrow, though.
