Every year there is a cross country jamboree at a local park. The elementary schools invite their students to participate. Emily wanted to enter this year, so we filled out the paperwork, etc.....K-3 kids ran .7 miles, while the 4-6 kids ran 1.2 miles. According to Emily, the path/trail is hilly and because it had been raining the day before, lots of puddles and mud. The race was done by gender and grade. So the girls, grades 4-6, raced last. Emily was at the back of the large group of girls at the beginning of the race, but was able to make up lots of ground and finished in the middle of the crowd.
The home stretch......
A medal winner!!!It was a very cold day, temps in the low 40's at race time. I am impressed that Emily wanted to participate and finished the race! GO EMILY!!!!!
