Stretching Our Limits

Guess which one of these beauties ran A WHOLE MILE today without stopping?

This girl!!!

Olivia usually plays during Emma's Cross Country practice.  This morning I asked her to stretch with the team.  She wasn't happy about it, but did it anyway.  While we were stretching, she said "I think I wanna run".

I took full advantage of that agreeable attitude, so she and I took off before the team

She did FANTASTIC!!!  She was so proud of herself she couldn't wait to call her Daddy!

Way to go, Olivia!

They did timed sprints today in practice to learn about pacing and Emma ROCKED IT!!

She's getting fast as well as building up endurance.  She continues to amaze us!

What I love most about all of this is that we all left the house grumpy and sleepy this morning.  We came home refreshed and feeling great.  Yay!

Plus, we knew we had Chick-fil-A waiting on us at home.  My friend, Rita, left it on our doorstop this morning.  GREAT SURPRISE!! Thank you, Rita!
