Usually I post about both my kids, but this one is a bit different. I am a proud mom today. Benjamin ran in the Elementary Cross Country Championships. He was originally suppose to run last Thursday, but the race had to be rescheduled. They moved it to the following day, Friday, but quickly found out that many schools could not make it. Third times a charm, they set it for today and all was set. This morning was a cold and gloomy morning. We were hoping that the weather would clear and we would get the promised 64 degrees.
48 degrees and Rain is what he gets to run in. The meet started at 9:30 am, he ran at 11:15 am. That means he stood in the rain that whole time. He finally raced and did awesome. 2nd place! AND he PR'd 5:50 for the mile.
I am so proud of him. He was freezing cold, soaked to the bone, and still rocked it.
Now for the treat at the end of every running season. He gets a massage pedicure. His feet take such a beating during the season this is his reward. He loves it.
