All three boys had stuff at the same time on Saturday, Sept 13th. The plan was for Marshall to go to Logan to Tag's game, me to go to Price to Kade's game and my in-laws to go to Taylorsville for James's race. When I woke up that morning, I had a bad feeling about going to Price. I couldn't shake it. I went for my morning run and said a prayer that I would know what to do. I came home and told Marshall and even though I didn't have a concrete reason for not wanting to go to Price, he backed me up. I didn't have a bad feeling about Kade going. So we had Kade ride with his teammate. Kade was very easy going about me not going. As we were waiting for James's race to start, I found out it was raining in Price and lightning. Kade's game started and they played about 15 minutes and then lightning delayed the game and then they never got to finish playing because the lightning continued for hours. So I was so glad I didn't go because it would have been a waste of a trip. James ended up having his best race and got his fastest time for the season. I was so glad I didn't miss such a monumental race. This race he tried a new strategy. This time he went his own pace for the first mile. It was a slower pace and he was in a position farther back during that mile. Then mile 2 and 3 he turned on the jets and went a faster pace and passed a lot of runners. He got 11th place and his time was 15:24! His new strategy worked!
