Cross Country Update


Brittni and Ari ran in OKC this afternoon. Brittni placed 19th and Ari placed 33rd. Brittni's first comment to me, was "I am proud Mom. My time is almost back to where it was last year!" Do you know what those words meant to me? We were not really sure Brittni would ever even run again. And now, she is almost back to before her injury. There were 68 runners, so everyone felt good about her placing. She was fourth on her team.

Ari was proud of her time, but a little disappointed. We warned her to stay hydrated because they were running in the afternoon, but she suffered a small bout with dehydration at the end of the race. It cost her some time, but she finished strong. She passed 13 runners at the end to place 33rd.

Their grandpa Nolan got to go to the meet, so they were happy to see him at the finish. He is always good to bring them candy and water. He took them out to his truck to recover after the race. We are lucky to have family available to watch the kids when Courtney and I can't.

Have a great week.
