Wii

Had a fun day today. Started with a good workout on the track. It was cool and raining just a little bit. The French toast was so good at breakfast. I helped a little at the practice track with filming, then played the Wii with Leo Manzano. He is one of the 1500m runners. We've had fun hanging out and got to run together a little on his easy days. We played Summer Athletics and raced a few 200m dashes. He beat me in that, but I was way better at Mario Kart!

There are two race walkers here that have been great to chat with. Trevor is 18 and is the only male US walker here. He's been doing race walking for years and is really good. Maria is also pretty young and is the only female US walker here. So, the future looks bright for US race walking. Whenever I actually meet the race walkers, I learn to appreciate the event more although I'm still not interested in trying it myself.
