x-country

Anna was not happy with me that I did not post about her first x-country meet and rightly so.
She's been dreading this event all summer. She has many aches and pains but she finishes and she gets better with each practice and race. David told her this would be good for her so here she is.








One tough Hill but what a beautiful course!!!
















I don't think I've ever seen such a smiley runner before.
















The beginning of another race. Go Vikings.















Running through the farmers fields..
















Having your best friend on the team helps alot. We're so proud of you Anna!!!!!

Molly's x-country

Molly is running x-country again this year. This was a picture from last year but I liked it and thought I'd share. My favorite course is here in Crystal Lake at Veterans Acre Park. I know it's hard to tell but there are runners clear across the pond. I love this course. Over grassy hills, through the woods, around the pond, passing giant Willows and Oak trees. I only wish my older kids could have run on such a lovely course. They were desert dwellers then.(like they had a choice)


I think this has been a fun season for her,even though she wasn't in the best of health at the beginning of the season. The teams seem to be really nice and they have pasta dinners every friday before a race on Sat. We hosted one and of course they ended up having fun on the tramp. I think we only lost one in the bushes.
