Race Day!

Yesterday I went to cheer Austin on at his cross country meet. This is only his second one and he has only trained for about 3 weeks. He did so well! He definitely has more of his Dad's running ability than his mothers. It was a chilly, rainy afternoon...perfect for the runners, but not so much for the fans!

I don't know how many were running in his group, but when they took off it was a massive blob of runners heading out and up the first hill. What a site!
Things spread out after the first mile and it was easier to photograph Austin. He ran strong and hard the whole way.
And this race he said he even had some energy left to make the sprint to the finish. I am so proud of him and admire his determination and drive to take on this new sport.
