The kids were part of a cross country team this year through their elementary school. They practiced twice a week after school and trained hard for their 3 meets that they had this season. The kids were grouped according to their age and ran a different length of race depending on which group they were in. Rhen was in the "Cheetah" group and ran a 3k, Liev and Keen were "Tigers" and ran a 2k and Beck was a "Puma" and ran a 1k. Watching them run and cheering them on was so fun for us! I was a proud mom watching my kids do something that was really hard for them. They all did so good and most of all they learned what it takes to be tough mentally not just physically. The last meet they had was the regional meet and the top 10 finishers in each group got a medal. Beck did so awesome and placed 9th at regionals! He was so excited to get a medal and be honored for his run. All the kids worked really hard this season and are already talking about the track season coming up in the spring. I love that we have a family of runners!
