The Saints Cross Country Boys Team talking a pre-walk...caught them walking away from me because taking a picture of them coming at me would have mortified Cory and I would like to be welcomed at the next meet! The second picture is his first lap around. He has a good stride going and I don't hear any loud wheezing noises yet from his activity-induced asthma.
This is his second lap. He is alone, but going strong. The second picture is him crossing the finishing line. He was wheezing and I was nervous. I walked him to his inhaler and made sure that he was okay before I left. After we both returned home he told me that he placed third in his heat running with both Varsity and Junior Varsity runners. He was rated 1st JV. Mr. Kyle Blomgren, his coach and Maren's 6th grade homeroom teacher, told him that he ran 4th overall in his team i ncluding both Varsity and Junior Varsity runners. Jeff and I are so proud of him and he was so happy with his results. This is Cory's first year as a cross country runner because his over-reactive mother was too nervous to let him try out last year. Over the past year he has done quite a bit of short-length running (1-1 1/2 miles at a time) and has proven that he can take care of his asthma and run. So, a new sport and I actually enjoyed going from spot to spot to see how he was doing.
