Early wake-up call today to get my run in before a long, but fun day of CIF championship games. I ran at Lake Murray, which always brings back memories of my childhood. Before I turned 8, we moved within a block of the northern tip of the lake. I played all my little league baseball games a stone's throw from the west end of the lake. (San Carlos Little League, where I played against Eric Karros, former star of the LA Dodgers)
Today, I ran 6.42 miles in 56 minutes & 2 seconds. A little too fast but I definitely tend to run faster when it's cold outside! I am icing tonight to hopefully keep my right hamstring in one piece.
The games today were a mixed bag. I saw most of the 2nd half of the girl's soccer game that started at 8:30 AM! It was very one sided with the final being 4-0. The best part was seeing Tara Young score the last goal who is one of my Ambassadors! Next up was the boys soccer game vs. Saints, our big cross-town rival. We led 1-0 until about 6:00 to go in the 2nd half and ST. Augustine scored on a ball that just broke the plane of the goal before a non-goalie player kicked it out to mid field. It came down to penalty kicks and they were all made except our 3rd try that went off the post! Tough way to lose a championship!
Lastly, our boys hoop team played Mission Bay, who we split the regular season 2 games we played against them as they are in our league. We came out of the blocks very slowly, down 10-3, and 18-10 at one point. The Dons pulled within 2 to make it 32-30 at the half. Back & forth we went, leaving the Dons in the lead 47-45 after the 3rd qtr. It was nip & tuck the rest of the way and it came down to the Dons being down by 1 with 0:06.9 seconds left. The ball was in-bounded to Michael Rosenburg who dribbled up to half court, passed off to Brandon Michel who drove to the hoop, scored the basket and was fouled. With 0:01.9 seconds left, Brandon missed on purpose got the rebound & time ran out for a 65-64 win! What a game & my heart can't take any more! Great job by all of our athletes! I learned so much about life through athletics and I know our students do & will continue to do so as well.
