Cross Country is going really well. My team is running well and my kids have ran particularly well, being very proud of themselves and improving with each race in some way.
Yesterday was Regionals. Both of my girls ran as Intermediates so that they had a good chance of going to Provincials. I knew Holly could do the distance because she did 5 km with me in June so 4 km was NBD. But she did get herself a little worked up and was really scared about the increased distance from 3 km as a Junior.
She didnt need to worry since she went through the added distance with a smile on her face and mud on her shoes :) I believe she had a lot of fun! She finished 33/47 and 3rd in her school.
I love this picture of her heading for the finish line with her coach in the background cheering her on! :):)
Taylor looked super strong on her run, although she doesnt feel it was a good race, with her chest being tight and she said she didnt feel good. I think she looked fine :)
unfortunately one of their team members was DQd and they did not make provincials by 2 points :( but it was a great race for all of these girls and Im super proud of them. The kids really are racing more than I am lol.
It's too bad that my running takes a dive during the best running weather; despite our tone of rain it's been nice, warm and sunny some days too :). And my time isn't m own :( soccer for the kids ends soon; basketball might take its place. There is always something. Hockey is taking a lot of time; but its never seemed so busy as it has this fall.
May pick a closer race this Sunday and just go to it ;) it's been ages. I had to miss the most local fall race and I want another before the Lucky 7 Relay in November.
