X Country Sweep

When we woke up this morning, we did not plan on a red ribbon day. In fact the morning was a little rough. Everyone was late, breakfast was sub par and tempers may have been a little short in one child or another. (We won't mention any names.) But, as they say, the show must go on. So, without eating our Wheaties, we all headed out the door. Matt and Sara had the City Cross Country Meet this morning at Nicholas Sheran park and I hoped they would not self destruct from lack of sleep and food before they even got there.

Dave and I biked over there to watch, cheer and take pictures. We were almost late as well, arriving at 9:13 for Sara's 9:15 start. Guess chaos can sometimes breed success (I hear my siblings laughing now...) because they both did really well. In fact, they both placed first! There were 96 girls in Sara's field. She ran 2k in 8:30. Matt had a smaller field but pulled away from the pack immediately and ran out front the whole time. He had to run 3k. We have been unable to confirm his time yet.

So, it was a red ribbon day. Actually, most days are in my book. But this one really was after such a slow start - and we even have the ribbons to prove it. Great job guys!
