Proud XC Mom

#1W is running Cross Country for Westfield's JV Team. She has been practicing for 3 weeks and run in 3 XC meets. Last week, they practiced every day but Friday!! Saturday she ran at the Georgia Children's home in a meet held by FPD. She ran the mile in 9 minutes and 52 seconds. GO GIRL!! It was so exciting. She crossed that finish line sprinting and passed 3 runners in the process. Being a runner myself, I am so overwhelmed with emotion at watching the start and finish of these races. It is awesome to watch these young girls and boys pushing themselves so hard. I am so proud of her. We have signed up to run in a 5K in October. Our team is called Poppa's Girls. A fitting name we thought. We are going to have some shirts made for us to wear in the race. We think he would have liked that.
