RuN! RuN! RuN!

A few weeks ago Kenzie finished up her final season of high school cross country. For the girl who had never run before, she has had a great 4 years! When she started her 9th grade year she wanted to be involved in something. I suggested cross country. It is a great sport. Anyone can be on the team. You are part of a team, but you compete against yourself too. The first day she went to practice she came home in tears. She had run in 100+ degree weather and it was very hard. I told her to keep going. She did and she loved it! She ran JV her Freshman year and surprised everyone when she won Region. That year she ran for Pine View High School and won the "Best Newcomer Award". Then we got a new high school and our kids were in the boundary for the new school. As hard as it was to change coaches, Kenzie ran cross country again. The next 3 years she ran Varsity. Her Sophomore year she won "Most Inspiring". Her Junior year she won "Most Valuable Runner". Her Senior year she was one of the team captains. It's been awesome to watch Kenzie run! She has been so inspiring to me! I will really miss watching her run and cheering her on. Great job Kenzie!
