Hurdles

206.3 down 4.2
I think I mentioned earlier that we insist that each of our kids do some activity that will keep them physically active. Brandon is the only one who didn't do an organized sport in High School but he would go and run for five miles just to unwind. We were never sure what Sarah would end up doing. She is an active girl and has always done something, she did soccer when she was little and then basketball when she got older but while she really enjoyed them, they didn't seem like sports that she was going to excel in. One day Lisa decided that Sarah looked like a runner. We'd had no experience with cross country but Lisa signed her up for a cross country camp and here we are. Do you know what they do in cross country? It is crazy, they just head out for runs some times as much as seven miles. I can't even imagine running seven miles but poor Sarah, who had never really run before, was doing it the first week she started. Cross country is a fall sport so now in the spring Sarah is doing track & field. Her sports are the mile and 300 m hurdles but she has also done the two mile, 800 meters and 4 x 4 relay. It is a beautiful thing to watch her go over those hurdles. Today was her last meet and unfortunately it was against Rancho Bernardo and they are pretty good. She didn't win the race in the video but she did well. The race where I took the photograph she did win. Don't you like those pretty blue cleats? I'm going to miss watching her.
