Im back in Track

I REALLY needed a break from the kids so after thinking about what I would most want to do with my time, if I had it, would be to be involved in sports again so I called the Eagle River High school so see if they needed a jump coach for the track team and sure enough they did so after meeting the head coach I am now the High School Jump coach. (For those if you who dont know, I high jumped for 6 years in middle and High School) I found a high school girl in our ward to come babysit for me after school for 2 hours and I get time off doing what I love. So far its been fun. We havent started jumping yet, but after conditioning we will start this next week. Chris has been totally supportive of me doing this which I am so thankful for. I hope I can keep doing this each year wherever I may be!!

This is me 10 years ago. Look how tan I was!!!

Can't wait to see you guys!!!

Way to go! I bet you'll have a blast and be an awesome coach. I wish you were my coach in high school...ours were a bit lacking (at least the ones I worked with).

Good for you! I have never high jumped before. That is great that you get to do something you really love. Hope it goes well for you. I wish I could have a body like that gal in the picture too. One day maybe.
