2010 Here We Come
I still have plenty of things to work on…but it’s the first weekend of January, which means that track and field season is officially here! No offense to all the cross country fans, but this is what I’ve been waiting for, both as a fan and a competitor. Since the World Indoor Championships are truly all that matters for me this indoor season, I have no problem working on things as the season progresses because I know that it means that I will be good to go once March 12th arrives. Now sure there were a good number of meets in December, but I’m willing to bet that even the folks who competed in those meets didn’t really consider them to be the start of the 2010 season. Today though, the season truly got underway.
I attended a meet at George Mason University and watched my girlfriend Ayanna compete in her “second” meet (since she triple jumped at a small meet in December), while the kids I coach at George Mason were getting their first taste of things. To be honest, I didn’t even stay to watch the men’s triple jump and since there were no George Mason athletes competing in the event, I don’t feel bad at all. Watching Ayanna handle business in the women’s triple jump, coupled with the anxiety of some of the collegiate athletes in the field house was all I needed to get me riled up and ready to compete. So even though all I did was hit the weight room today (for what was a high quality lifting session I might add), I’m definitely ready to get this show on the road! For now, I’ll spend a good amount of time tomorrow and Monday checking meet results just for the heck of it.
All signs indicate that I’ll be opening my season next weekend, although I’m not sure on the exact meet yet. I will update everybody on the “where” once I can say for sure. 2010…let’s get it!

You are absolutely right babe, the 2010 indoor season is truly under way. It was a good meet but as you know, I’m always hungry for more! Having you there is always a pleasure and I love the positive energy you bring. Thank you for your support, encouragement and motivation. I am anxiously anticipating your first meet of the indoor season, its going to be great!!!! No matter “where” we’re competing this coming weekend, we’ll take care of business! 2010 is our year, and like T.D. Jakes said on Friday night “This is the year you will find your sweet spot, you will find the spot you are destined to be at”…….2010 lets get it!!

Oh, I definitely know that you wanted more, but it’ll come…especially after what I saw on Saturday and based on what I see everyday in practice. We just have to keep plugging away like we have been since you’ve already been improving so much! But like you said, it is definitely our year and we’re just going to go about finding our spot as the months of 2010 progress. I’m confident that that spot will be at the top!
P.S. You’re VERY welcome
I enjoy helping you out as much I as can.

Good luck this weekend. Make sure you two rep “Skeeter Jackson Flight School” to the fullest. I will be running only being that I have all my athletes back @ Uni of Mary Washington.
P.S. Sam hit me up via text once you know where you are jumping this weekend.

Hey, what meets are you doing for indoor? Can you post your schedule? I may be going to the Boston Indoor Games, and it would be awesome to see you there (so I can show off to my sister that I know an elite-level athlete!)
