Look at all those middle school boys running in one race! It was really cool to see a group that big running together. |
Jackson has always wanted to run cross country. He even got Conrad to do it with him. They enjoyed being a part of the team and seeing their times improve. I had so much fun going to their meets, watching them, and being in that environment. They grew so much by the end. It really helped build their confidence, and they learned that they can run way further than they ever thought they could. Now if they say something is too hard, I can say right back, I know you can do it you can run way further than you ever thought you could As they are reminded of that, it helps them work harder in other areas.
This past spring, when the boys played baseball and the environment wasn't very positive in one of the leagues, the kids played in. It ruined all the fun and makes the kids anxious and play worse. Cross country is an amazingly positive environment with great coaches and everyone encouraging everybody else. It's my new favorite sport.
I'm so proud of you, boys!!! It takes a great deal of effort and endurance to do what you've done. Way to go!!!
