Thursday and a day off due to Ascension day. I couldn’t sleep this morning so instead I got up and had breakfast while I watched some TV.
We’ve been taking it easy today doing this and that around the house. I baked some rolls for the graduation party, which was good to get out of the way.
In the evening I met up with my brother-in-law and we went into town to join my parents at Bauhaus galan at Stockholm Stadion. The event has a diamond league status so a lot of really good athletes were there. This gentleman – Mike Powell – added some extra star quality to the event by being there. *star-struck* The man who broke the impossible world record in long jump back in 1991.
Sweden has a new shining star in long-jump – Thobias Montler – who won tonight with 8.22 and managed to defeat Echevarría and Henderson to mention a few. This jump got him a ticket to the Olympics and also placed him as number two of best long jumpers in Sweden.
It was a really good event but quite cold and a bit rainy- I had brought extra everything so I was ok. Afterwards we got a lift home from a friend from Huddinge AIS – perfect. My family was back from their movie and already in bed when I got home. Time to hug my pillow too!
– as I see it..
