Cross-Country Race

At the end of October, Shiloh, Adah, and Abigail ran in a local private school's all-comers cross-country meet. The course was a mile and a half. Last year, Greene County Homeschoolers had an official team with a coach, but this year they practiced on their own and had just enough runners to make a "team" once we got to the race. The girls' focus this fall has been soccer, so our running practices weren't as rigorous as they could have been. Regardless, the girls did really well in my eyes. They ran smart, keeping it smooth and steady instead of going out hard and then crashing and burning halfway through the race. All three of them finished strong, and Adah and Abigail were running against 10-14 year-olds. Shiloh placed second among the girls and 14th overall. Adah finished in front of Abigail in 33rd place and Abigail was 39th. Abigail decided to run the Turkey Trot with us after this race, so she's preparing now for a 5K. Shiloh will also run the 5K, but she'll have to push herself if she wants a better time than Abigail and I will run. :)Daniel has started running again, but he's not sure he'll get up to their pace from last year!
