CTE Cross Country

Julia is doing cross country again this year.  She's been having a lot of fun with it too.  I can't tell if she likes the running or earning charms for her backpack in five mile increments more. Practices are on Monday and Friday morning before school. Stacey usually runs with her on Mondays and I usually run with her on Fridays. Typically she runs a 5k each practice.

Today she ran at a cross country meet with a couple of other elementary schools around Liberty High School. It was fun for them to get to start and finish around the track (the same track I used to run on back in the day). Although she had a slow start (socialize and trying to stay with a friend), she eventually started running on her own after a little "encouragement" from Dad. She ended up finishing 50th out of all the 4th and 5th graders (boys and girls). Good job Julia! That is pretty good considering she spotted most of them a head start. I'm just happy that she's enjoying getting out and being active. We want the kids to each be involved in at least one physical activity during the times they are in school.
