Did you happen to catch where he was in relation to the other boys from his school? There're a few of them all vying for that power ranking spot and they are often right there at the finish with him. He said he wanted to stay a good 200 yds in front of them because the two closest have better kicks than him. <br /><br />About the Manoa lettuce - lettuce grows this one long tap root which is about 1 1/2 times longer than the lettuce is tall. If you want to just eat it when the heads are tiny, then you can keep it in the 4 inch pots, just keep planting every couple weeks to make sure you have a continuous supply. That one would be easy to start from seed and move to the bigger pots when they have four leaves. <br /><br />Thanks for going to the race - and giving me the updates. I am so aware that he only has a few more races and then it is over - high school is almost over. I wasn't ready for it with the oldest and I am not ready now.NancyDehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09565369052850975336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-279838830512754397.post-31427954385388197632011-09-17T15:15:00.790-10:002011-09-17T15:15:00.790-10:00I watched the race also.

Seemed to be in complete control.RAILBIRDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14027732211269602725noreply@blogger.com
