Between trips to the doctor and resting up, life went on (full throttle) as usual!
Justin decided to run cross country on his junior high team. When he told me he was going to run, I had flashbacks of my days on the high school cross country team. I realize that some people actually enjoy running, but for me, it has always been grueling, hard work. My freshman year, I wanted to run as fast as the "gazelle-legged" tall girls, so I worked really hard. But even with this determination, I wasn't exactly leading the pack! So the next fall I played volleyball instead and found my niche.
So when Justin decided to run, I though for sure I must have passed down a "glutton for punishment" gene!
This is a picture of him right after one of his meets. He placed eighth overall (in a field of about 40) and had the second best time for his school! Awesome!

I'm sorry you guys all had strep - that's one illness that really knocks me down!!!
Good job Justin. I'm glad that you're all feeling better.
Blessings,
Sarah
that stinks that all kids were sick. I'm still waiting for it to hit us. I practically bath in hand sanitizer. Good job on the runner!
I hope you bought stock in antibiotics or at least a personal family doctor before you all got sick:) I'm so sorry it hit you guys so hard. I hope you feel better. And way to go Justin. My brother has picked up cross country since hitting high school and loves it!!
