Marissa started Cross Country a few weeks ago, and now there's no stopping her!
I've been super impressed by her willingness (and happiness) to go to practices that started at 6:00AM to run anywhere from three to five miles in the freezing cold, and do different strengthening moves that were thrown in there too! (Thankfully for me and her, practices have been changed to after school!)
She has had two meets and has come in around 20th place in a group of about 70 7th and 8th grade girls. She runs 1.5 miles in a little over 12.5 minutes! (This is coming from a kid who has me, the non-runner, as a mother) She loves to run with her good friends Lauryn and Robin, who all encourage each other and are planning to practice over Christmas break so they can totally rock it when they get back. Way to go Riss!
