Max's Track

For those of you who don't know, Max is not a real sportsey kid. He is coordinated and very, very , muscular, however he hates to practice anything. Well let me take that back, he will practice transforming, Transformers. We tried soccer and two yrs. ago and it was ridiculous, so we said in a few yrs. will do something else. So he still pretty much hates to practice but we tried track anyways. He loves to run and is really fast so we thought he would really like it, as well as he won't get get or hit by someone or something. He hated going to practice, but once there he liked having fun, and meeting new "friends". However he hated running in the heat. He only ever did the 50M, and could do it in 10.5 sec. ( and that wasn't at full speed), but he said he couldn't run his fastest in the heat. So he started throwing, shot put, discus, and long jump. Max has an unbelievably cut body for a six year old. In fact he took his shirt off one day after a water fight at practice and his coach Brad was like, "you have got to be kidding me, look at his six pack". His arms are so defined and shaped as well as his legs, he was just born this way and has always looked like this, he doesn't do anything to make them bigger. So all the bragging bringsd me to my point of, Max can throw far. Brad said he throws as far as 8-10 yr. He had several meets, and did well at each one. I am hoping to be able to figure out how to uplaod some video of him, mostly for my Grandpa Dyer who was a track coach for many yrs. I am glad it is over, its not fun standing around waiting for his events, or watching him at practice in 100 degree weather. He actually said he wants to do it again next year which makes us really happy. As you will see from the pics., Konnor had to practice too. Konnor is Max's opposite, he loves sports, any kind. He will keep us busy when he gets older, mostly because he wants to try everything. Max we are so proud of you for sticking it out all summer.
