You Make It Look Easy

Because of course. Your very first attempt at running Cross Country, you place #12 out of 140 middle school athletes. You were the best from your school, and finished the 2 Mile in under 15 minutes!

I cheered my guts out for you. Tried to run and catch you around every corner... when I saw you rounding the last bend, I couldn’t believe your pace! Like a speeding bullet.

You ran a  smart race, according to your coach. You started steady and sustainable, and increased speed the last mile... you passed your new rival from Jenison. After crushing the competition, you immediately turned around to cheer on Estella and Adelle.

And I just wanted to squeeze my little girl!
