Cross Country... a family affair..xoxox

I have achieved something this weekend I never dreamed I could.. I got Aaron and Harrison to cross country. Go my boys!

It was a beautiful flat course this week.. one of the only ones on the calender.. so I decided to go for the 10kms. Courts and Gem decided to have a go at the 5km, Aaron, Harrison and Diddi decided to conquer the 2.5km walk. Sun was shining after a week of rain and the weather rather mild.. I even felt hot during the run. For me the first 5kms was the toughest.. I just couldn't find the groove.. but on the third lap something just fell into place and the groove was found... by the fourth lap I felt like I could run all day. I finished with a rather large smile on my face with my family smiling back at me... xoxoxo

Courts found the morning tough as she really hasn't done any training since breaking her arm... now that she is castless she is determined to get back into the swing of things. Courts managed the 2.5km before the picnic called her name.

Aaron, Harrison & Diddi enjoyed a stroll through the bush solving the worlds problems, cheering me and giving a drink when I went past. Harrison hearing the call of the picnic very loudly... He proudly sampled everyone's offerings 'because I did the walk youknow... so I can have the picnic..'..!

Gem was the star of the day.. Gem usual gives in to the pain of running.. Gives in to the excuses.. Hears the call of the picnic long before everyone else.. but something changed for her yesterday... She completed the 5km all by herself... Proudly annoucing that she beat Courtney.. rarely happens for the poor love.. I tried to catch her on her last lap... but she just keep going just out of reach.. I am so proud of her. She is very determined when she puts her mind to it!!!! I wonder where she gets that from...hehehehe xoxoxoxox
