Time to run again

I've changed my blog to show runners again.  It is that time of year...cross country season!  Andrew and I have both talked about the things we are going to miss about Robert graduating, and not being at cross country meets is pretty much at the top of the list.  Saturday was the first meet of the season.  Robert has been blowing everyone away in the little races and challenges that they have been having at practice, and to be honest was being not-too-humble about it.  I kept reminding him that he had to sustain for three miles and not just run as far as you can for six minutes...doesn't work that way in a meet.  To be honest, he didn't look particularly good at the half way point, although he claimed he was running six minute miles.  He ended up finishing over 20 minutes because he apparently developed blisters, and pretty severe ones, on his feet.  In fact, no matter what shoes he put on the rest of the weekend he limped a bit.  On the upside, it brings him back to earth a bit, and hopefully will provide motivation to help him have significant improvement this season!
