I'm so Proud

This girl has never done anything like this before.  She made up her mind to join the cross country team this year (5th grade) and went for it.  I am so proud of her for showing up, trying even when she needed to stop and walk, and finishing.  She has been running about 9 miles a week.  I think that is fantastic for a 10 year old.  She feels so strong and good and she should!  It has been fun to see her gain endurance and confidence.  Exercise does a body good.  Yea for you, Madeline!
