I am so stinkin' proud of this girl of mine. She has worked very hard this semester at school, doing a great job keeping her grades up. She volunteers at the Humane society feeding kittens and walking dogs. She raises chickens and sells eggs. And she's really fast on the track. She ran a personal best at the league championship meet, coming in third in the 1600 meters. It was so fun to watch her climb the podium and get her medal.
I also love the friends she's made; the choices of who to hang out with and why. She's grown up a lot in the last two years and is making really great choices for her future.
So as her track season draws to a close, I thought I'd make "My Month in Numbers" for May all about Clara. (You can see other MMIN at Julie Kirk's blog).
Best 1600 meter time - 5:21.25
Best 3200 meter time - 12:08
Best 800 meter time - 2:31.19
Hours volunteered at the Humane Society in May - 11
Income from selling eggs (in May) - $118
Expenses from raising chickens (in May) - $21
Hours spent raising chickens (in May) - 14
Her age tomorrow: 16
Happy Birthday Baby Girl! I love you.

From afar, it seems like extraordinary strengths have flowed from the anti-cancer run you did together in San Diego, I think.

And what a great business she's got going with the eggs - very impressive!

Fantastic look at your May - way to go Clara!
Oh yes, you can be a proud mama!!! I can't believe her times and the fact that she is making such a profit selling eggs! :) Focusing on one subject is a great idea for your numbers!
Thank you for stopping by and looking at mine the other day ;)
What a great post - good for her!! You certainly have every right to be proud - its all there in the numbers!
So much achieved in just sixteen years! You (and she, hopefully)can really be proud :). I love how you've made the numbers all about her this month - a very fitting tribute. Happy Birthday, Clara!
What a great set of numbers and belated Happy Birthday to her.
Wow, you should be proud of her. Even apart from her fabulous running, it seems like she is a very sensible, persistent girl, hard working girl.
