Our Sport Is Your Sport's Punishment



Last Saturday morning our whole family was up and heading out the door by 6:30 am. We were on our way to Avery's very first cross

country meet. Yay! I loved watching her warm up with her team in her oversized uniform (Much better than the short shorts that cross country runners usually don). My stomach did somersaults as I watched her nervously waiting for her grade's turn to race. After waiting through six separate heats it was finally her turn and she was amazing! She finished her 3/4 mile race in 7min 55 sec.

I have another shirt/slogan -
