The launch has happened. Drop off is done and Soul Montano is officially a Pima Aztec. He already started practice and walked right into that college athlete grind 💪🏾

A team full of dogs ready to work for greatness, coaches with high expectations and solid blueprints for the journey and let me not forget the supportive administration on the athletic and academic side who work together to promote the student-athletes, their goals, and their potential. Everyone knows the assignment.

Son, you are in a GREAT place. This is the jump off so literally let's fly. We already know the has wings so spread those bad boys and fly high 😍

This baby right here! Chunky, happy, quiet, smiley, always pleasant. 4 months old in this picture.

And they said don't get your hopes up you probably won't make it past the first trimester. They had already said don't get pregnant when I was released from the hospital. There was a threat lurking in my brain and spine sooo. He and I rolled through spinal taps every 6 weeks until 7 months and I was back to "normal" He was chilling until 4 days past his due date when the doctors said evict him but I was trying to go to Target and for a fitness walk. He wasn't ready so they went in and got him. He didn't cry so they got nervous thinking something was wrong. Nothing was wrong, he just didn't want to cry. He was wide eyed and looking at everyone. 8lbs 2.5oz 21 inches. He's been an amazing blessing and I'm so excited for him. That was 18 years ago. Have you seen Soul Montano lately?

And for just a few open 400m's this year I'd say we've got something. I love watching him run the 400m. Maybe I'm based though 😁.
