feetMy eldest son, Daniel, started high school today… high school!  He’s running Cross Country this year and the team practiced from 2:45 until 5:15.  This is the team’s daily routine.  He told me they learned to stretch, how to ice, they also ran and then discussed nutrition.  He was full of words of wisdom about fruits and veggies when he got home today….nice!  I love youth athletics – the fact that the kids are so aware, so young.  I am looking forward to this high school season – training, meets and pasta parties before meets. 

 My younger son also started Cross Country … running a 7 minute mile the first day… ahh youth!  My daughter started school at the School in the Woods.  Her new school/program includes daily hikes and runs – I am so glad that for them school is so well rounded.   Summer and swimming is over, school and running has started.  They are learning… getting a great education and learning about how to stay active and healthy.
