Rebecca took up a new sport this year -- cross country. It's been a great experience for her. Her team is like a big family and Coach Raines has really developed this group of kids into good runners. We've enjoyed this sport because we have our evenings free. Sure, we've been waking up at 5:30 a.m. every Saturday since August 13, but we're home by 10:30 a.m. That's not so bad, right?
It's also been good for me because while the team is running and lifting weights I've been walking. Nothing like a good hour of forced exercise.
Group Shot from the Grace Prep Meet
I've commented that the starting line looks like a scene from Braveheart. This is one of the smaller meets we attended. At some starting lines, there were anywhere from 75-100 runners. Becca is almost in the middle here. (Click on any photo to enlarge and actually see!)

This is usually how you see the runners, from a distance.
Becca's shirt is the color of the grass!
The middle schoolers love Becca. Her coach says she is the "team mother."
Crazy group shot!
Three more weeks...I'm actually going to miss it, especially when I'm sitting on hard bleachers in a smelly gym. Oh, basketball, why'd ya have to go and ruin a good time?
