I wouldn’t have guessed we’d have any kiddos running cross-country,
but low and behold Jason decided he wanted to give it a whirl this year. Cross-country and wrestling are the
only sports offered to the 6th grade boys at the middle school. Jason was also participating in soccer
through our local rec program so it was a busy fall for that kid – two sports
and starting middle school. He
managed very well even on the days he had both cross country practice and
soccer practice. Add to that
piano, scouts, etc… he was a busy boy.
Jason did great for his first season – they run a 3k, which
is 1.86 miles. He fell in the
middle of the pack with times between 13:51-14:52 – the courses were all
different some with hills, some on wooded trails and some had portions of the
route on a track. Ready, set, go!
It was fun to watch Jason run in the meets. He gave it his all. The runners look so miserable running
that final stretch to the finish line.
I don’t get it, but apparently some people actually enjoy this sort of
thing.
It’s been fun for Jason to be reunited with his buddy Matt
this year in middle school (Matt went to a different school for 5th grade) –
even more fun that they both participated in cross-country.
