Cross country has ended
Yesterday was the league meet for the kids' cross country seasons. The weather was pretty good...not to warm, not too cold, and not rainy. This one is slightly hillier than some, so I wasn't sure what to expect. It was at this meet last year that Robert collapsed at the end because it turns out he was sick. He ran first and we were very pleased when he cut eight seconds off his personal record to post a 21:11. Catherine began lagging early and I was very concerned about her performance. She managed to cut thirty seconds off her time for a 20:50 (she runs only two miles, Robert runs three). We were so proud of both of them. I LOVE watching my kids and their teammates run, and when we realized Catherine was going to set a PR I loved watching how Thomas couldn't stop cheering and encouraging his sister. I love watching the camaraderie of this sport. No matter how well or how poorly anyone does, there is always a tremendous level of respect because the person has finished. I am fairly certain that is more than I could do on most days!
