Nick had a great race this afternoon and placed seventh in a super classy field stacked with Kenyans as you can see from the results above! Nick had a really great finish and his time was his second fastest ever over the mile distance. The race was live on NBC here and so we all piled into Nick and Sierras basement to cheer Nick on! There was Sierra, Caro, Bella, Sari, Phoebe, Tony, Mariah, Silas and Tempo all getting excited!

We had fun this morning catching up with some old friends Jaime, Bryan, Tyler and Remi Goldstein who we had many great times with in the Ann Arbor summer of 2008. Unfortunately they who now live in Cincinnati, Ohio but they were up for the weekend and we went to play at our old haunt, Burns Park where Tyler and Bella had spent many happy hours in the sand box together. NB The sand box is what they call a sand pit here and a lot of parks have them. Today we had a picnic, flew kites, played baseball and American football and had water play in the sand box!
