Cross Country

  Cross country has been in full swing since late August.  These kids are dedicated!  Every Monday and Friday, they get to school at 7:45 and run for 45 minutes.  They average about 2 miles each morning.  They really enjoy going and we have lucked out with really nice weather for practices.  They all have friends that do it, so they get to hang with their friends while getting some good exercise. 
   Two weeks ago, they had their first meet.  It was a pretty big deal because they got to run at the football stadium.  They thought that was neat and we could watch from the bleachers. Dawson had a fun time and seemed happy to just be out there.  Ashlyln did not have her best race.  She ran along side her best friend, which she usually does not do.  She also said she tripped on something along the way.  Totally understandable.  I know all too well that not all races are good ones.  The most important part is that they had fun.  Cross country will end in the end of October.
