I was thrilled a few weeks ago when Channing told me that she had decided to try running Cross Country at school. She didn't make the volleyball team as they were all required to try out and she didn't want to wait in off season until soccer started at the school, so she joined the Cross Country team! I was so happy that she was willing to try it! I just love running so much and was glad she wanted to share and at least experience a little piece of my world.
I've always made my kids run in the summers with me, so I knew she could run the 2 miles they race. She is a steady runner and pretty good at pacing. She however is not competitive at all! Haha. She's too sweet and just wants everyone to do their best! I'm hoping I can help her learn to at least to push herself and do her very best. Not to beat others, but to feel good about her own performance.
Her first meet was at Summercreek High School. She placed 26th out of about 70 girls. It was very hot, but she did great.
She is all about friends and loves running with her friends.
I look forward to watching her progress and improve each race.
