my runners

almost annually i post something about my dedicated cross country runners.  (i'm a bit behind on this, and still doing my October wrap-up it seems.  at least that's consistent! :))  always proud of their willingness to commit to doing something hard that tests their will and strength and endurance.  


the boys made it to district level with top five finishes at the city meet...


pretty strong and supportive fan base, always means so much!




 Layla also qualified from the city meet to compete at SWOSSAA in Windsor.  she worked so hard and pushed through cold rain and hills and plantar fasciitis too.  she also was the only grade nine girl from her entire school who joined the team.  
below~ race strategy contemplation pre-race maybe? 


just a reminder that clicking on the pictures does enlarge them :)


Adam would have joined as well, but chose volleyball which shares the same season as cross country, and if i was a better mom i'd have pictures of him on the court, but somehow i missed that opportunity altogether.  i must have been living completely in the moment~ yes, we'll go with that excuse!  he also had fun and has improved so much~ which is no less courageous considering he's taken an interest in a sport he has very limited experience in and joined a group of guys who can display literal volleyball magic on the court~ so skilled for sure.  i'd be afraid to face their serves and spikes.  not Adam. 
you know what comes next by now~ winter wrestling! my favourite!
