Had an early start today, had to have my oldest (11) at school at 5:45 to catch the bus to his first cross country event. He's in 6th grade but since our school doesn't have enough kids to field a middle school team, he runs with the Varsity. He and a friend were the only 6th graders to run today out of over 270 kids. They both finished ahead of several kids much older (and bigger) than them. I was beyond proud of him. Good thing I was wearing sunglasses so folks couldn't see the tears of joy, pride and admiration as he finished. Was a great day indeed.
