First Cross Country Race of 2026 | Mommy and Me Monday | 872nd ed
It’s very different this year having only one cross country runner at home and also being a coach on her team. Plus, one older sister at college and the other two later at school for band camp, B and I spend a lot of time together.
Sometimes, it’s post practice and waiting for everybody else to get home for a much later family dinner. Taking pictures while we wait helps pass the time.
Then this weekend, it was time for the first middle school race. The last 5 years, Mr. Serious and I have had to divide and conquer for races because the high school and middle school were at two different locations most of the time. But not this time! The middle two had an all day band camp, so it was just the three of us at the race.
I’ve been notoriously bad at getting a picture at the race, but remembered this time on the walk in!
It was so incredibly hot and humid with sweat literally dripping down us (and I wasn’t even running), but our kids did so well with the team even taking home a trophy! B ran on the varsity team and was very close to her overall PR and still beat her current year time trial time! I’m excited to see where this season takes us. And, soon enough, I’ll be at football games and marching band competitions!
