ok, so i was near to tears as i watched my middle child compete for the last time...at the state cross country meet, where he finished in the top 25%....perfectly admirable for a child who has long focused on things other than running.........but running is a pasttime i can see him pursuing........especially since he turns 18 in december, and he will be elligible for long runs like marathons.......i can see him as a marathoner.....he has always tended toward the low and slow.........regardless......we are so proud.........
